Water Changes and Moves

Students are introduced to the water cycle and water movement in soil. For this water cycle lesson, students explore how water moves through the water cycle and discuss water sources, natural reservoirs, soil infiltration rates and...

Insolubility and density? Yup, it's art class, of course. To create insoluble paintings that continually move and change, kids mix water-based paint with mineral oil and seal the mixture in laminating pouches.

Watch celery change from green to purple in a video that demonstrates how celery absorbs food coloring to change the color of the leaves. The resource has viewers thinking about the science behind types of water and photosynthesis.

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

Investigate the water cycle and how water moves from the land to the air and back to the land. Create a terrarium and observe the water cycle at work. Define weather terms including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Students examine where water is found in the world, how we use it, and the various forms it takes. They observe the refraction of light through a prism, record the day and night sky over a week's time, and create a topographic model of...

Young scientists use food coloring and celery stalks to determine how water travels through plants. 

Students read books about water and discuss the forms of water as it moves through the water cycle: ice, liquid and steam. They view and conduct experiments to view the three types of water found in the water cycle.

Students observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

Students compare the different forms of water and observe an experiment demonstrating how water flows downward. On the first day, they examine sealed bags containing the three forms of water. In cooperative groups, students conduct...
