"Exploring the Universe: Filtered Light" demonstrates how scientists can use telescopes and other tools to capture and filter different energies of light to study the universe.

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

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In "Exploring the Universe: Exoplanet Transits," participants simulate one of the methods scientists use to discover planets orbiting distant stars.

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

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.
