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

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

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.

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.

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

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