Solar Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.
Working with Wind Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.
Making Connections: What You Can Do To Help Stop Global Climate Change
Source Institutions
In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.
Build Your Own Solar Oven
Source Institutions
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.
Exploring the Solar System: Moonquakes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.
Wind Works!
Source Institutions
Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.
Solar Water Heater
Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.
Working with Watermills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
