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

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

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.
