Use this online activity to explore how various substances respond to changes in temperature. Learn how to calibrate a thermometer.

Students measure the light output and temperature (as a measure of heat output) for three types of light bulbs to identify why some light bulbs are more efficient (more light with less energy) than others.

An easy experiment for demonstrating and exploring molecule movement requiring common household items: two glasses, two dark colors of food coloring, and warm and cold water. A few variations to the experiment will have students using...

An activity for students to explore how dark-colored materials absorb and emit more energy vs. light-colored material.

Examine the link between molecular motion and energy. Observe the movement of a molecule at room temperature. Learn about the different types of molecular motion.
