Students observe a demonstration on light. They construct a pinhole viewer, and explore and discuss the concept that light travels in a straight line.

Sixth graders conduct a variety of experiments to explore types of light and the concept of refraction. They observe objects in water, use water and prisms to create rainbows and combine light filtered through colored cellophane to...

Students see what inventors have to think about when making an invention.  In this inventions lesson students examine Thomas Edison and the light bulb and the history of inventions. 

In this circuits worksheet, students follow directions on how to make a light bulb light and answer questions about it. Students answer 1 question about an insulator and 1 about a conductor.

Students study the basic concepts of the Global Positioning System and how it increases the accuracy of navigation. They examine trilateration and how the speed of light is used to calculate distances.

In this light waves worksheet, students complete 7 short answer questions where they analyze and record findings about the properties of light waves.

Students differentiate cold and warm-blooded animals using infrared images. In this physics lesson, students compare the images formed by infrared and visible light. They explain how scientists use infrared technology to study animals.

In this series circuit worksheet, students observe what happens when they make a simple circuit light more than one light bulb. Students follow 3 directions and answer 3 questions.

In this lightning rod activity, students make a lightning rod out of batteries, breadboard, light bulbs, wires, and more. Students also answer 2 questions.

In this waves activity, students compare the characteristics of sound and light waves and determine the wavelength, amplitude, and speed of a wave. This activity has 9 problems to solve.

In this signaling worksheet, students follow directions to make a circuit involving batteries, light bulbs, wires and more. Students then try to make morse code signals with their circuit.

For this parallel circuit worksheet, students use batteries, a breadboard, light bulbs and more to make a parallel circuit and answer short answer questions. Students answer 2 questions.

Learners describe how the sun's rays produce colors. They describe how water causes the sun's rays of light to bend, producing a rainbow.

Sixth graders compare distances between objects in the solar system. They investigate how light years are measured and when using them to measure how distances compare with one another. They write an essay exploring the possibility of...

Twelfth graders explore the Earth's radiation budget using Earth radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) data archived at the IRI/LDEO Climate Data Library. They use photometers and light sources to work through several hands-on activities...

The student reflects on concepts of ecological footprints and climate changes. In this Art lesson, students will produce a visual representation showing understanding of how ecology and climate affects the world.
