In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners detect the amount of energy that can flow through a sodium chloride electrolyte solution with a light sensor.

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

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

Learners make a refrigerator that works without electricity. The pot-in-pot refrigerator works by evaporation: a layer of sand is placed between two terra cotta pots and thoroughly soaked with water.

In this activity, learners heat ice and water of the same temperature to get a hands-on look at phase changes. This is an easy and inexpensive way to introduce states of matter and thermodynamics.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

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.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
