In this optics activity, learners experiment with polarizers (small dark rectangles) to examine light intensity.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into mixing colors with light.

In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.

In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when they give a light source like a neon glow lamp a "Bronx Cheer." The lights appear to wiggle back and forth and flicker when learners blow air throu

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

In this activity about light and reflection, learners use a special device called a Mirage Maker™ to create an illusion.

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.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

In this quick activity, Dracula has a hole in his house and learners help solve the problem by using a mirror and protractor to reflect incoming light out of his house.

In this activity, learners explore light and shadows by creating a lantern they can keep on their nightstand.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create and observe moire patterns.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.
