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 use an old CD to construct a spectroscope, a device that separates light into its component colors.

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

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create pictures in thin air.

In this optics activity, learners work in pairs to explore how mirrors work. Learners use tape to mark the angles needed to see each other's reflection in a wall mirror.

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 optics activity, learners make a "light fountain" from a clear plastic bottle, flashlight, and other simple materials.

Challenge popular misconceptions, learners explore how a mirror actually reflects an image in this activity.

In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of

In this optics activity, learners explore how they can make gelatin stop light, but not stop them from seeing fruit suspended within.

In this optics activity, learners split white light into all its component colors using three household items: a compact disc, dishwashing liquid, and a hose (outside).

In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.

In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.
