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

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

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

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

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

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

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

In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.
