In this activity (posted on March 12, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a spectroscope, a tool used to analyze light and color.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

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

In this optics activity, learners explore why the sky is blue and the sunset is red, using a simple setup comprising a transparent plastic box, water, and powdered milk.

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

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

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 activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

In this activity, learners discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.

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

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.
