In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

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

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

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

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 optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into mixing colors with light.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

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

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

"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.

Have fun with additive mixing! Observe what happens when the three primary colors of light--red, green and blue--are mixed together, resulting in white light.

In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.

Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

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