In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

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, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

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.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners simulate the behavior of the atmosphere.
