Hot Spot Investigators
In this hands-on STEM activity, students become environmental scientists, exploring how solar radiation impacts their local surroundings. Through data collection, analysis, and design, they will better understand how surface properties influence heat absorption and propose innovative, real-world cooling solutions for urban environments. As an optional extension, students could share their findings in an eCard, or test their results by building and placing solar ovens in optimal locations.
School Greening: Investigating Simulator Solutions
Investigate real-world solutions to flooding and heat using the Flood:ED School Greening Simulator, then apply what you learn to design a safer, more climate-resilient community.
