In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this tasty activity, learners make their own ice cream any day of the year in an exploration of heat and cold. Highlights include freezing and melting and the transition from liquid to solid.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners simulate the behavior of the atmosphere.

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

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 activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

Learners observe working lava lamps to understand how they work (included in PDF link).

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.
