Backyard Weather Station

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: In this hands-on activity, students use their senses to describe what the weather is doing and to predict what it might do next. After gaining a basic understanding of weather patterns, students will become state park engineers and build a "backyard weather station" to gather data for an actual weather forecast.

Energy (Activity)

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Energy is often defined as "the ability to do work." In this module we will see how energy flows through different states as it affects our world. You can also work on an experiment to see how much energy it takes to boil water! We will get a feeling for the vast scale of energy; from heating a single atom to the energy in our galaxy.

Hot or Not

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: This activity explains what a fever is and how the immune system uses it to try and protect the body against germs. The students then explore temperature further by creating a model of a thermometer and completing a temperature conversion worksheet.

How Hot Is It?

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Students learn about the nature of thermal energy, temperature and how materials store thermal energy. They discuss the difference between conduction, convection and radiation of thermal energy, and complete activities in which they investigate the difference between temperature, thermal energy and the heat capacity of different materials. Students also learn how some engineering requires an understanding of thermal energy.

How Much Heat Will It Hold?

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Students relate thermal energy to heat capacity by comparing the heat capacities of different materials and graphing the change in temperature over time for a specific material. Students learn why heat capacity is an important property of thermal energy that engineers use in many applications.

Make Your Own Temperature Scale

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Students learn about the difference between temperature and thermal energy. They build a thermometer using simple materials and develop their own scale for measuring temperature. They compare their thermometer to a commercial thermometer, and get a sense for why engineers need to understand the properties of thermal energy.

Solar Power

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: In this activity, students learn how engineers use solar energy to heat buildings by investigating the thermal storage properties of some common materials: sand, salt, water and shredded paper. Students then evaluate the usefulness of each material as a thermal storage material to be used as the thermal mass in a passive solar building.

Stop Heat from Escaping

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: One way to conserve energy in a building is to use adequate insulation. Insulation helps keep the hot or cool air inside or outside of a building. Inefficient heating and cooling of buildings is a leading residential and industrial source of wasteful energy use. In this activity, students act as engineers and determine which type of insulation would conserve the most energy.
