Apply light to dark: Put down the light colors first. Then, add the darker colors. Get your brush full of color and decide where you want to put the color. Then, lay it down. If it puddles, you can leave it to lay a heavier intensity of color. (02:50)

In this interactive activity featuring videos adapted from the Rutgers PAER Group, observe the refraction of light as it passes through transparent objects. In the first example, when a convex lens is placed in the path of parallel beams of light, the beams converge after passing though the lens. In the second example, when a concave lens is placed in the path of parallel beams of light, the beams diverge after passing through the lens. In the third example, when a rectangular piece of glass is placed in the path of a beam of light, the light bends at the boundary both into and out of the glass. No audio.

Afterschool Universe is an out-of-school-time astronomy program for middle school students that explores basic astronomy concepts through engaging hands-on activities and then takes participants on a journey through the Universe beyond the Solar System.
This video shows a simple kinesthetic activity that demonstrates how all the information we obtain about objects in the universe is carried to us by light, and it takes time for light to travel to us from those objects. The amount of time it takes depends on how far away they are.

The little "c" representing the speed of light is perhaps the most famous symbol in physics and astronomy. It is one of the most fundamental constants in the world. Which means it is the same no matter in the world you are. Video explains how speed of light is measured. Video is of good quality and appropriate for high school students. Run time 5 mins.

Video is short but gives a thorough explanation of solar photovoltaic systems. How do they work? Sunlight is captured and converted from light to electricity. The electricity that is made from the convertor is DC (direct current) and needs to be changed to AC (alternating current) by an inverter. Batteries are attached to the inverter to provide electricity to the house when there is no sun. The inverter provides the electricity needed in the home. When a home has a solar power system they do not need to buy power from the electric company and then save money. This is also good for the environment. This is a good basic video on solar power. Good video for elementary grade level students. Run time 02:04.

Beyond what we can touch, taste, smell, and hear, we experience the universe through light. But how did we come to discover light, and how did we learn light’s true nature, as the fastest thing in the universe, an electromagnetic spectrum, a wave and particle capable of the most amazing things? Here is the history of light, according to physics. (07:08)
