In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside

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.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.
