In this activity, learners make prisms from gelatin. Learners then shine light through the prisms and discover what happens. This activity introduces learners to the idea of refraction.

In this activity, learners discover what happens when they crush wintergreen-flavored candies in a very dark room.

In this activity, learners use UV light to transfer a pattern onto a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (a transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

In this activity, learners explore the principles of magnetism by observing how various materials interact with magnets and superconductors.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.
