In this optics activity, learners explore how many objects they can see in a set of mirrors (hinged like a book) at various angles.

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

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

In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.

In this optics activity, learners experiment with polarizers (small dark rectangles) to examine light intensity.

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears), learners observe how an animal responds to its own reflection.

In this optics activity, learners build a spy tool to secretly view things over walls or around corners.
