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

This is a great activity about human energy production. Learners will work out with a clothespin to investigate why hockey players jump on a stationary bike after an intense game.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this activity, learners determine whether thermal energy can be used for work.

In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

This is an activity about reaction times. Just how quickly must an NHL goalie respond to save a shot, and how does your reaction time compare?

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

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