This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.

In this activity, learners examine how colored lenses act like filters and absorb all colors of light except for the color of the lenses.

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 make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

In this optics activity, demonstrate diffraction using a candle or a small bright flashlight bulb and a slide made with two pencils.

In this optics activity, learners build a spy tool to secretly view things over walls or around corners.

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 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.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.
