NASA Launchpad: Cooling Off
This Grades 9-12 activity includes the basics of thermal energy transfer/heat equations. The hands-on experiment featured would be somewhat expensive and time consuming. This acivitiy might translate into a simple simulation of what happens in the two different containers when a light shines on them.

This grades 9-10 activity has a NASA orbit simulator resource link. http://science.nasa.gov/realtime/
