In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.
