Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this activity, learners investigate the speed of chemical reactions with light sticks. Learners discover that reactions can be sped up or slowed down due to temperature changes.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

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

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.
