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 mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

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

In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystals, light and temperature. Using a postcard made of temperature-sensitive liquid crystal material, learners monitor temperature changes.

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.
