Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.

In this fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.

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

In this activity, learners explore the invisible infrared radiation from an electric heater.

In this activity, learners explore the relative efficiency of different bulbs, specifically incandescent vs. fluorescent.

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

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this demonstration, amaze learners by performing simple tricks using mirrors. These tricks take advantage of how a mirror can reflect your right side so it appears to be your left side.

In this physics activity, learners recreate Galileo's famous experiment, in which he dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).
