I have a bunch of plywood, and different sheets of wood that has been
lying on it's side. The wood has all warped. Is it possible to bend
it back straight again. Possible with water.

Try putting the ply on the grass (lawn) on a sunny day. This will have
the tendency of the edges to curl upward.

You may also try screwing it to a frame. The frame will keep the plywood
in check, but not necessarily straighten it. (Depends on your plywood,
really.)
