Light always travels in a straight line until something gets in its way. When that happens, light can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted, depending on what kind of surface it hits. Learn more about light with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

Light energy has predictable properties when it interacts with matter that we refer to as reflection and refraction. In this workshop we will explore what happens to light when it strikes a smooth surface, a rough surface, or a transparent surface. In particular, we will examine several big ideas about light through viewing demonstrations with light and mirrors, visiting an artist and an astronomer who use mirrors in their work, watching fifth grade students investigate refraction, and listening to experts talk about light.

Light is a very important energy source that helps keep us warm and lets us see the world. Light travels in waves through bundles of energy called photons. The photons contain all seven colors of the rainbow. Grab a prism and check them out! Learn more about light with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

Thomas Edison's most famous invention, the light bulb, paved the way for modern life. This is a short video about one invention, the light bulb, but adds little to understanding his life. It is interesting for teachers to use as it shows that the light bulb required electricity and that means even more problems to solve. (02:51)

After the illuminating light show at Walkerville's old theater, Arnold's bossy cousin Janet claims she could put on a much better show. Nobody believes her, until Janet and Arnold mysteriously disappear. Ms. Frizzle leads her class into the darkened theater to look for them. To shed some light on the problem, the kids become beams of light - but find nothing. Then, to their great shock, they see Arnold's ghostly image floating high above the empty stage! Is the theater haunted? Or is this just one of Janet's tricks?

In this video segment adapted from Shedding Light on Science, learn about the dispersion of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and how sunlight contains a range of wavelengths (photons of differing energy). Isaac Newton investigated sunlight by shining it through a glass prism; after the prism refracted the light, he saw a spectrum of colors. He recognized that sunlight was made up of many colors, which could not be further separated when passed through a second prism. Drops of water in the air have the same dispersion effect. In the video, a bowl of water is used to simulate a giant raindrop to show how the differing angles of refraction of different wavelengths create rainbows. Run time 03:55.

Light is so common that we rarely think about what it really is. But just over two hundred years ago, a groundbreaking experiment answered the question that had occupied physicists for centuries. Is light made up of waves or particles? The experiment in this video clip was conducted by Thomas Young and is known as Young's Double Slit Experiment. This famous experiment is actually a simplification of a series of experiments on light conducted by Young. (7:39)

In this interactive activity adapted from Shedding Light on Science, learn about the primary colors of light and pigment. First, see red, green, and blue gelatin blocks used as filters to demonstrate the absorption of specific wavelengths of light. Then watch as three desk lamps with red, green, and blue filters show how the primary colors of light are mixed to create other colors. Finally, watch a demonstration of how paints both absorb and reflect light and how the primary colors of pigment are mixed to create other colors.
