In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

Learners demonstrate how water can distort, refract and magnify light.

In this optics activity, learners discover basic lens-making techniques by using a tennis ball to make a lens out of ice.

This is a series of three quick science activities to do with a spoon, knife, and fork. In the first two activities, learners use the flatware to explore optics, mirrors, reflection, and distortion.

This resource contains several mini-explorations using a slide projector as a light source to investigate light and the properties of images.

In this activity, learners use Jell-O to explore lenses. Learners cut Jell-O into convex and concave lens shapes and examine how light exits each lens in a darkened room.

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

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.
