Bottle "Tops"
Source Institutions
In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.
Radial Chromatography
Source Institutions
How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.
Bending Light
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners make a lens and explore how the eye manipulates the light that enters it.
Bring it into Focus
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF), learners play with a lens and a piece of paper to focus an image on the paper. Learners look at different things, and see how the lenses affect the image.
