Program Description
Body
This workshop will explore the science of light and color through hands-on experiments.
Children observe demonstrations that blend colors to produce white light, and others that separate white light into colors. Experiments with prisms and diffraction lenses give children the opportunity to explore the color spectrum of various light sources. A chromatography activity provides an interesting demonstration of separating printed colors on a filter. The instructor leads an activity from white light to the ultraviolet range. Children look at the world through tinted lenses to experience color-blindness and see through the eyes of animals. A light-induced, optical effects demonstration device to take home completes this illuminating adventure!
In this class, children enter the world of light!
