In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity about magnetism (page seven of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets to better understand how magnetic fields work.

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.

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystals, light and temperature. Using a postcard made of temperature-sensitive liquid crystal material, learners monitor temperature changes.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Learners apply their knowledge of heat transfer to design two cans - one that will retain heat and one that will cool down quickly.
