In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.

In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.

In this simple activity, learners investigate refraction by placing a picture of an arrow behind a glass of water.

In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.

In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

In this optics activity, learners use paint thinner to make a small jar seem to disappear inside a larger jar.

In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

In this activity about light and refraction, learners make a lens and magnifying glass by filling a bowl with water.

Take the two-straw challenge and discover how pressure affects vacuums! In this activity, learners experiment with drinking through one and two straws, comparing the amount of liquid they can drink.

In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.
