Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

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.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

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

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and 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 explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

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 this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.
