Homeschool Day: Wonderful Water

December 17 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory as we explore the awesome properties of water! This is an experimental based field trip focusing on the water cycle and buoyancy. Students will see the water cycle in action, join in a water walk as we discuss how water moves in our local environment, and explore buoyancy through experiments and an engineering design challenge. Can your student make over 100 pennies float and predict how buoyant different objects are? Join us and find out! This lesson is NGSS aligned and addresses the following concepts:

  • Cycles of matter and energy transfer in ecosystems: how water moves in an environment
  • Earth materials and systems: how water and rainfall influence the land
  • The roles of water in Earth’s surface processes
  • Weather and climate
  • Physical science: matter and its interactions: structure and properties of water
  • Engineering design: defining a problem, developing solutions, optimizing the design solution
