In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

This activity (on pages 16-23) lets learners measure each other's vital signs—the signs that help doctors understand what's going on in a patient body.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

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

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

In this activity, learners discover that our hands are not reliable thermometers.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.
