This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

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

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

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

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

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
