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 laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

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

In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
