In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

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

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

This lesson plan enables learners to explore the differences between weather and climate.

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

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 online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

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

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

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

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

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

In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this activity, learners determine the necessary conditions for pea seed germination.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

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