In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

In this optics activity, learners explore interference by adding wax blocks to a ripple tank.

In this optics activity, learners explore diffraction by adding wax blocks to a ripple tank. The wedge-shaped blocks act as obstacles that the wave must bend around.

Learners mix a solution containing luminol and copper with a fake blood solution. A chemical reaction between the luminol solution and fake blood (hydrogen peroxide) show learners a blue glow.
