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

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

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

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

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

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 discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.
