In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners construct their own spectroscope as they explore and observe spectra from familiar light sources.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

"Exploring the Universe: Filtered Light" demonstrates how scientists can use telescopes and other tools to capture and filter different energies of light to study the universe.
