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

In this activity, learners discover that it's difficult to distinguish between two different shades of gray when they aren't separated by a boundary.

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

How can you make one shade of gray look like two? By putting it against two different color backgrounds! This activity allows learners to perform this sleight of hand very easily.

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

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystals, light and temperature. Using a postcard made of temperature-sensitive liquid crystal material, learners monitor temperature changes.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

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

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, learners use a compact disc to make a spectrometer, an instrument used to measure properties of light.

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.

In this optics activity, learners use a shoebox, colored cellophane and sunlight to "change" the colors of gumballs. Learners will be surprised when the green and blue gumballs appear black!
