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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

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.

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 explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

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