Watch water boil at room temperature. The temperature at which water boils depends on pressure. You can demonstrate this by dramatically lowering the pressure on a water-filled plastic syringe at room temperature.

Water is a limited resource that we use over and over again. The idea is to teach the science behind the water cycle, where water comes from and is located on the Earth. After research and developing and understanding of conservation students will create a water tower that will collect and store rainwater. Students will also create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) on water conservation.

When water utility personnel recognized their groundwater withdrawals were damaging ecosystems in the Tampa Bay area, they found new ways to reduce their dependence on it.

In the growing season, farmers and ranchers keep a watchful eye for any sign of drought. Early warning information can increase their range of options for dealing with the lack of water.

When you add water to effervescent (fizzy) tablets or baking powder, bubbles are formed: a gas is produced. You can use this gas to inflate a balloon without blowing it up yourself. What kind of gas is it? Let us collect this gas and analyse it through experiments.

Explore pressure in the atmosphere and underwater. Reshape a pipe to see how it changes fluid flow speed. Experiment with a leaky water tower to see how the height and water level determine the water trajectory.

The lake shore provides resting and feeding grounds for millions of migratory birds, including blue herons, cormorants, geese, and many duck species. Most birds land in one of the five bird sanctuaries that border the lake. The largest, the Bear River Refuge, is located at the mouth of the Bear River. During late summer, as many as two million birds may be found at the Bear River refuge alone, including the largest Whistler Swan population in the United States. Lake levels are important to the bird refuges. When the lake rises above the 4,202-foot level, brackish water invades the sanctuaries and upsets the food chain. When the lake drops below the 4,196-foot level, the marshes dry out and small animals can prey upon the birds. ===

Red Rock Pass consisted of loose sand and gravel. Escaping water washed away this material, deepening the channel and causing the water overflow to increase rapidly. The flow of water through the pass is estimated to have been three or four times the amount of water flowing through today's Amazon River. Red Rock Pass continued to erode for about 25 years until the water reached a layer of resistant limestone, and the lake stabilized at the Provo level, about 400 feet lower. ===
