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 investigate the speed of chemical reactions with light sticks. Learners discover that reactions can be sped up or slowed down due to temperature changes.

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.

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 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.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

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 conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

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 on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

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.
