In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

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.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
