Science Passport: Sink – Properties of Water

The Anchorage Museum has created a home edition of the Science Passport that uses the important science skills of observation, thoughtful questioning, and experimentation to learn more about the world around them. This lesson plan examines some properties of water, providing activities to discover this unique substance.

Questions are designed for 3-8^th grades, but the activities can be easily adapted for K-12.

Students will:

• Understand water’s cohesive and adhesive properties
• Discover how water acts in unique ways
• Engage in hands-on learning to make observations and predictions about water’s interaction with other materials
