In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
