In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

In this activity, learners determine the necessary conditions for pea seed germination.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this outdoor activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the behavior of hopping animals.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

This activity provides an opportunity for learners to observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

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.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
