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

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a solar hot water heater. Their goal is to create a heater that yields the highest temperature change.

Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.

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 online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.

In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

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