In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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 act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

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

This chocolate chip cookie recipe includes templates for baking night sky constellations of the season right on top! Two templates are included, one for 9pm mid-April, and one for 10pm mid-July.

In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

In this multi-step experiment (page 4 of pdf), learners study tide pools, and then drop a "wave" (a 4-pound bag of beans or birdseed) on a shell to mimic the force of crashing surf on tide pool animal

In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.

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

In this simple activity, learners explore ocean waves. To find out if water moves forward toward the shore, learners create waves in a simulated ocean (small aquarium tank of water).

In this activity, learners thread colored beads onto string. Each beach represent a process of the water cycle.

This simple hands-on activity demonstrates why the sky appears blue on a sunny day and red during sunrise and sunset.

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