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.

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 build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

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

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.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.
