This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

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

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

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

In this activity, learners use open inquiry to learn about the process of science as well as gain experience regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass, dissolution, and density.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

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