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.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

Learners examine the properties of light by experimenting with an LED-flashlight and polarizing filters. When two polarizers are used, they block all light when they are placed at right angles.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.
