Observing water condensation.

Making it rain, filled half of a mason jar with water, then added shaving cream on top to represent clouds, gave each one a cup of water with food coloring and a dropper.  They got the colored water and added them it to the shaving cream, once the cream got full of water and colored water would come down into the water to represent rain.  One of their favorite experiments to do.

Observing the water in its solid and liquid form, seeing how the water takes the form of whatever container it's in.

We added oil and water on some construction paper to represent how ducks stay dry.  It was really cool to see how the water would run off the paper with the oil on it.  

Here's a closer look at the feather with oil on it, the picture doesn't do it justice.

Ordered some water beads online last year which went perfect for our studies of water absorption.

It took about 6 hours to get these water beads the size they are now.  Added them to a small water bottle for them to enjoy.  Of course I sealed the top so no one opens the bottle and spills water and the beads everywhere.
