Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

Align four color transparencies, each one a single color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and see a beautiful full color image.

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this activity, learners will discover what colors are in different markers, and may be surprised at the results.

In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

Learn about dyes and mordants (fixatives) when you tie-dye fabric with Kool-Aid™ and vinegar. The colored molecules in Kool-Aid™ form a chemical bond between the fiber and dye molecules.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!
