In this activity, learners use an old CD to construct a spectroscope, a device that separates light into its component colors.

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 optics activity, learners split white light into all its component colors using three household items: a compact disc, dishwashing liquid, and a hose (outside).

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

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

In this activity, learners trap a thin layer of air between two pieces of Plexiglas to produce rainbow-colored interference patterns.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.
