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

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

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 outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

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.
