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

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

In this optics activity, learners explore diffraction by adding wax blocks to a ripple tank. The wedge-shaped blocks act as obstacles that the wave must bend around.

In this optics activity, learners explore interference by adding wax blocks to a ripple tank.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.

In this optics activity, learners discover that not all shadows are black. Learners explore human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.
