In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

In this activity (posted on March 14, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a camera projector to explore lenses and refraction.

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

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

In this optics activity, learners discover that not all shadows are black. Learners explore human color perception by using colored lights to make additive color mixtures.
