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

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.

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 physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners use their knowledge of energy and batteries to create homemade flashlights.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

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 activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

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

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

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.
