In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this activity, learners investigate the speed of chemical reactions with light sticks. Learners discover that reactions can be sped up or slowed down due to temperature changes.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

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

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

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

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.

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.

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

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

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!

Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.
