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

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

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

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Learners mix a solution containing luminol and copper with a fake blood solution. A chemical reaction between the luminol solution and fake blood (hydrogen peroxide) show learners a blue glow.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
