Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

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

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore acid and bases as they create their own invisible ink out of baking soda and grape juice.

In this activity about afterimages, learners explore what happens when receptor cells called cones in your eye's retina get tired.

In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

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

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

"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.

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.

Learn about dyes and mordants (fixatives) when you tie-dye fabric with Kool-Aid™ and vinegar. The colored molecules in Kool-Aid™ form a chemical bond between the fiber and dye molecules.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

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 activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.
