Amazing Albedo
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

See the Light
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.

Relative Speed of Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Using Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

Sinking Water
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.

What's the Angle?
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.
Simple Submarine
Source Institutions
Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

How Greenhouse Gases Absorb Heat
Source Institutions
Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
