About the course

Through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, water is recycled constantly through the environment. Investigate the water cycle and see how living and nonliving elements are vital to the process, and how it continuously moves between organisms.

Let's get molecular with matter! Engage in experiments exploring the four states of matter, kinetic energy, and water cycles.
