In this activity, learners use pop-beads to understand the characteristics and properties of polymer chains.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

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.

In this activity (posted on March 14, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a camera projector to explore lenses and refraction.

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

Learners experiment with water gel crystals, or sodium polyacrylate crystals, which absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. When in pure water, the water gel crystals cannot be seen.

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