In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

In this environmental activity (page 16 of the PDF), learners will calculate the amount of energy they save by recycling paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum materials over the span of a week.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

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.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

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

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
