Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

Learners investigate one factor affecting reaction rates: temperature. In a darkened room, two identical lightsticks are placed in water -- one in hot water and one in cold water.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

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

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

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

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

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

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.
