Drinking Water for Kids is an United States Environmental Protection Agency website that provides students with activities, games, and experiments about drinking water and the water cycle.
The games are divided into K-6 and 7-12 sections and include downloadable documents that explore water filtration, the water cycle, and water bloopers. There are word searches, trivia, myths and realities, as well as answers to drinking water questions.
The activities and classroom experiments feature a water sourcebook series that must be downloaded and activities separated into level-appropriate categories: K-3, 4-7, 8-12. Some of the activities you can find here are building your own water cycle, the case of disappearing water, and build your own watershed.
Kids Health provides Children and Drinking Water Standards in HTML and PDF.
This site is available in a Spanish version.
