In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

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.

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 physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

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

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

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.
