Filters provide amusing changes to images in applications other than just Instagram! High school pupils apply their knowledge of colored filters to three different interactive sets of puzzles. They identify light colors that pass through filters, the final light color after passing through multiple filters, and the proper filter to use for the observer to see a specific picture given the original.
