In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners design, build and test wind turbines. Learners go through the design process and use the scientific method to test important blade variables.

Visitors mix urea with water in one flask and mix calcium chloride with water in another flask. They observe that the urea flask gets cold and the calcium chloride flask gets hot.

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

Learners observe glow-in-the-dark objects in a homemade light-proof box. Objects can include glow sticks, glow-in-the-dark toys, and toys with fluorescent paint.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.
