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

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

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

It's difficult to see convection currents in any liquid that's undergoing a temperature change, but in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you can see the currents with the help of food coloring.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

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, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
