In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.

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 discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

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 outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
