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 activity, learners explore ray optics. Learners discover that they can use a magnifying glass to create an upside-down image.

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.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

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 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.

In this activity, learners create a xylophone by filling glasses with different amounts of water and tapping them with a metal spoon.

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

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.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

Make a quick and easy filter from household materials. A filter will catch any solids suspended in a liquid and filter them out. By using a filter, learners can discover amazing things.

In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

In this activity, learners explore inertia as they attempt to whip a strip of paper out from under two coins dangling on the rim of a water glass.
