In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

In this activity, learners explore why the sky is blue. Learners model the scattering of light by the atmosphere, which creates the blue sky and red sunset, using a flashlight and clear glue sticks.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

In this optics activity, learners examine how polarized light can reveal stress patterns in clear plastic.

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

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

In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.

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.

This simple hands-on activity demonstrates why the sky appears blue on a sunny day and red during sunrise and sunset.
