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

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

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 sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.

In this optics activity, learners use glass and water to demonstrate total internal reflection (TIR).

In this optics activity, learners use a shoebox, colored cellophane and sunlight to "change" the colors of gumballs. Learners will be surprised when the green and blue gumballs appear black!

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.
