In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this activity, learners discover what happens when they crush wintergreen-flavored candies in a very dark room.

Learners test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid for electrical conductivity. They immerse leads from a lighting device (a battery pack connected to an LED) into each solution.

This is a quick activity/demonstration that introduces learners to the concept of index of refraction. Learners place stirring rods in a jar of water and notice they can see them clearly.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

In this chemistry lab activity, learners model the colors of fireworks by burning metallic solutions in a flame and observing the different colors produced.

Learners observe two joined glass tubes containing a conductive salt solution. Electrodes are passing an electric current through the water.
