In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

Learners explore their surroundings while reasoning about categories and counting.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Create an illusion where it appears that your hand has a hole in it. You'll see the results from when one eye gets conflicting information.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

Look at pictures through different color filters and you'll see them in a new way. People have used color filters in beautiful photography or sending secret messages.

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

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 activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

Learners experiment with a commercially available liquid-crystal coaster. They warm the material with their hands for varying lengths of time and observe the changing colors that result.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

Why should we wear masks? Do masks work? Do some masks work better than others? Learners find out in this activity.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

This activity uses a special paper that can create images with exposure to the Sun. Collect objects of different shapes and sizes and use them to make interesting patterns on your sun print.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF), learners play with a lens and a piece of paper to focus an image on the paper. Learners look at different things, and see how the lenses affect the image.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.
