Experiment: Refraction And The Reappearing Coin

Students discover how light refracts through various objects. In this refraction lesson, students conduct an experiment with water and a straw, while watching a video. Students then use their straws and water to conduct another...

Third graders experiment with coins and water to explore light rays.  In this light and water activity, 3rd graders work in pairs to observe what happens with a coin in water or how it appears based on the density of the water....

Third graders utilize the scientific method to explain light and optics in this five lessons unit. Through experimentation and discussion, 3rd graders canvass the concepts of light traveling, reflection and refraction.

Life science learners need to be able to use a microscope. With this comprehensive resource, they first experience how lenses and magnification work, and then get familiar with using a compound microscope. Tremendous background...

Bring a little magic into the classroom. Fill a cup with water, place a plate underneath it, and watch a coin disappear. This is a great way to kick off a discussion involving the behavior of light and the concepts of reflection and...
