In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

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

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

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.
