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.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

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.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.
