In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this optics activity, learners use water to make a coin "appear" and "disappear." Use this activity to demonstrate how light refracts and introduce light as waves.

This is a quick activity/demonstration that introduces learners to the concept of index of refraction. Learners place stirring rods in a jar of water and notice they can see them clearly.

In this optics activity, learners use paint thinner to make a small jar seem to disappear inside a larger jar.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.
