Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

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

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

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

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 astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

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