In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

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

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.
