In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

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

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

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

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystals, light and temperature. Using a postcard made of temperature-sensitive liquid crystal material, learners monitor temperature changes.
