Bone Stress

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Lighten up a bit with this activity! Use an old-fashioned overhead projector to shine light through a pair of polarizing filters. Place a stressed plastic object in between and display the colors of light waves revealed! Rotate the filter for various colors and directions. This is a bright little activity to include in your light unit.
