In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

Light painting is a creative activity that involves creating striking images and illusions using a camera, a light source, and a little practice.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

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

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

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

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

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, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

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 will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this activity, learners explore light, color and rainbows by making their own rainbow glasses.

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.
