Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

In this activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

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

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

With little more than a flashlight, a straw, and a plastic lid, make an observatory so you can see the amazing colors in bubbles.

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

Have fun with additive mixing! Observe what happens when the three primary colors of light--red, green and blue--are mixed together, resulting in white light.

Create your own spinning top, and explore color, shapes and spinning. This activity contains instructions for making your spinning top, and tips on how to design and decorate it.

In this hands-on activity, learners build their own kaleidoscopes and explore how light can reflect of off surfaces such as mirrors, to produce beautiful patterns.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this activity, young learners will describe objects by their properties and sort by color, weight and texture. This activity uses household items and toys for materials.

In this activity, learners explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.
