In this activity, learners explore phosphorescence and how certain materials can absorb and store energy from a light source.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this activity (posted on March 12, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a spectroscope, a tool used to analyze light and color.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

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

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

This activity guide includes instructions for building a spectroscope using a standard classroom overhead projector.

In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.
