In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

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.

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 design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

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.
