This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

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

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this activity, learners "draw" with frozen tempera paint. The ice cubes are prepared the day before by placing watered down tempera paint and popsicle sticks in ice cube trays.

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

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

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

"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.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

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

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.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

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

In this activity, learners will use bubble wrap to print patterns on paper and experiment with mixing colors.

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, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

In this activity, learners explore light, color and rainbows by making their own rainbow glasses.

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

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.
