Young scholars build a model to simulate parts of the water cycle. They recognize and explain the essential elements of the water cycle.

Learners conduct a series of investigations on the unique properties of water. In this general science activity, students explain what causes water's surface tension. They explain the different stages in the water cycle.

Students learn about the history of Indiana's water and understand how easily pollution can contaminate the water supply. They also learn how little fresh water we have and how important it is to protect it.

Students explore water. In this water absorbency lesson, students experiment with different items to see if they absorb water. Students record their findings on a data sheet. Students then try making music with drinking glasses...

High schoolers test water for a least one chemical characteristic. They hypothesize how a storm event might change the chemical characteristics of a stream. Students collect water samples and use the chemical test to test the water.

Students plan for a water shortage in their area.  In this water lesson plan, students analyze water usage and plan and share a reduction plan.  Groups share their results and calculate the averages.  Students analyze how...

Students examine how to conserve water. They also discover how to prevent water pollution. They examine the Earth's water distribution as well.

Learners discover the relationship between water availability and population growth. They change variables in a computer model using a worksheet to guide their hypotheses and conclusions. In small groups they choose a country undergoing...

Learners explore the properties of water. In this cross curriculum art and physical science lesson, students experiment with a variety of materials to demonstrate the cohesive forces and adhesion of water. Learners create a water color...

Students explore the water cycle. In this earth science instructional activity, students observe and measure water in a closed container and in an open container. Students record their observations and compare their sets of data to draw...

Students discuss their community's water sources and assess the factors affecting the water availability and quality. They research water disputes around the world and explain common factors among them.

Students decide whether or not there is or has even been water on Mars. They analyze temperature and pressure data from the Pathfinder mission to Mars, and then they analyze images of Mars, interpreting the landforms they see and...

Students make up a superhero. In this water quality lesson, students create a superhero with super powers that can improve water quality and availability.

Learners examine distribution of water and minerals. In this surface and groundwater lesson, students conduct an experiment with fresh and salt water making hypothesis and drawing conclusions about minerals. 

Students describe, orally or in writing, ways people have depended on water during different periods of history. This nearly 500 page document is rich with diverse lessons and activities that will transform your young learners into...

Students research water pollution and create a class guide to raise the public's awareness about this issue. They write papers analyzing the effectiveness of the guide after it is read by members of the community.

High schoolers research the possible sources and human health effects of microbes found in recreational and drinking water. They explore the range of negative outcomes of contact with contaminated recreational and drinking water by...
