In this activity, learners make a photographic image--without a camera!

In this activity, learners use their strength to light a light bulb. A chain made from paper clips is placed in series with a battery and flashlight bulb.

In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.

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 STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this optics activity, learners discover that not all shadows are black. Learners explore human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.

Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

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 activity about light and refraction, learners discover how a lens creates an image that hangs in midair.

In this optics activity, learners examine how polarized light can reveal stress patterns in clear plastic.

In this activity, learners investigate the speed of chemical reactions with light sticks. Learners discover that reactions can be sped up or slowed down due to temperature changes.

In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

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.
