Bioluminescence fascinates most upper elementary scientists. Display images of different glowing deep-sea organisms and discuss their environment. Young biologists then experiment with images and different colors of filtered light. In...

Students explore the celebration of Christmas as part of an investigation into the multicultural experiences of celebrating holidays. The story written by Richard Paul Evans, "The Light of Christmas" provides the basis for the exploration.

Students describe some common pests. They study three levels of pest control from the IPM pyramid.

In this color worksheet, students read where light comes from and the different colors created through a prism. Students compare light (additive color) with pigments (subtractive color). Then students complete 1 drawing, 6 matching, 22...

In this color worksheet, students read about light, prisms, the RGB model and the CMYK model. Students match colors with their definition, they draw the color chart, they apply the RGB and CMYK models to make colors and they interpret...

In this glow-in-the-dark worksheet, students read about substances that phosphor and their characteristics. Students also read about photo luminescence and glow-in-the-dark toys. They answer 6 questions about the light emitted by...

Young scholars envision how space observatories make use of monochromatic filters to collect data on the color of objects in space. They see the actual colors of objects when they are in monochromatic light.

In this problem solving worksheet, students use the six different columns to create six different patterns for the red, yellow, and green lights for a stop light.

Students examine the properties of lasers and research their types and uses.  In this laser lesson students view several demonstrations.

Sixth graders explore how three colored lights can be combined to produce a wide range of colors.

Students identify the different leaf pigments and colors. In this biology lesson, students perform chromatography to separate them. They explain how light affects green leaf colors and causes falling leaves in autumn.

Learners explore, through discussion and experimentation, colorblindness and how the color of the light passing through the eye changes how different colors are perceived.

In this science experiment worksheet, students gather materials and perform an investigation using thermometers and prisms. Students are asked if red is hotter than blue. They answer 6 questions.

Students investigate the components of white light as viewed through a prism. The multiple colors of the spectrum produced are related to wavelengths and experienced through the creation of a color wheel.

Students discover fluid dynamics related to buoyancy through experimentation and optional photography. Using one set of fluids, they make light fluids rise through denser fluids. Using another set, they make dense fluids sink through a...

Students investigate why the sky is blue and the sunset is red. They are asked why do you think that we see the sky as blue? Students write a hypothesis on their "Blue Sky Lab Sheet". They explain why they think that the sky is blue...

High schoolers investigate the effects of light while experimenting with several color wheels. They make observations and record them. The information from the observations is used to help fuel the discussion that follows. The lesson...

In this science experiment with light worksheet, students explore what shadows can be created with the use of different colored bulbs and flashlights.

What distinguishes the differences between refraction and reflection? Learners identify the properties of light as they mix colored light to create new color variations. As they work they gather data about the properties of light and...

Students using a glass prism filled with water are able to see all of the visible colors found the sunlight.

Prepare gifts for the eight nights of Hanukkah with a fun and artistic lesson. Learners use various materials to make an array of unique gifts, including splatter paintings, decorated flowerpots, and stained glass designed with crayons.

Students experience and practice compositing and recycling through hands-on-activities. They distinguish between which items from their trash can be recycled, composted and reused. The process for making recycled paper is also covered in...

Learners discover the many uses of minerals in industry. They use minerals to conduct flame tests and to demostrate color. They practice safety tips in the lab.

Students explore how different colors are seen through the cone cells in our eyes.  In this light lesson students complete a lab activity with light and record their observations.
