Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.

In this optics activity, demonstrate diffraction using a candle or a small bright flashlight bulb and a slide made with two pencils.

In this activity, learners construct their own spectroscope as they explore and observe spectra from familiar light sources.

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystal thermometers to observe how heat flows by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

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

In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.
