Learn about magnifying glasses, concave lenses and inverted images by sending rays of light through a magnifying glass in this cool science fair project!

Science fair project that examines albedo, and how this information is applied in the design of cars, sportswear, and other items. Which colors reflect light?

Science fair project which compares the rate of temperature change and the maximum temperature as a result of the angle of light radiation.

You don't need to wait for rain to see a rainbow. Make one yourself, and teach your child about light and weather in the process.

Believe it or not, images that are cast upon your eye's light-sensitive screen (called the retina) are upside down. Here's a fun, fast experiment to prove it!

The moon doesn't produce its own light, so why can we see it shining in the sky? Learn about reflection and planetshine in this fun and easy science project!

In this cool physics experiment, use double plane mirrors at various angles to learn about light reflection. Then, see if you can solve a puzzling problem!

This experiment works due to a simple principle: plants need light. Build a shoebox maze and watch the plant work though the obstacle course, searching for sun.

In this cool project, create a lighted, scale model of the different layers of the Sun, including the core, radiation and convection zones, and photosphere.

Glass is see-through, but usually you can still see that it is there. In this experiment, we use baby oil to make glass go completely invisible.

Deck the halls with last season's Christmas lights for a spectacular and electrifying science activity.

What causes the seasons to change? Kids find out by modeling the earth's tilt using a globe, flashlight and graph paper in this cool science fair project idea.

Stir up some enthusiasm for experimentation with this candy-cracking science experiment!

How does a flashlight work? Kids will make a complete circuit and explore how voltage contributes to brightness with this science fair project idea.

Kids learn how to manipulate additive and subtractive colors to send secret messages with red colored filters in this cool science fair project idea.

What causes dilated pupils? Young scientists will find out by applying what they already know about changes in pupil size and making models of the pupil.

This science fair project investigates why the number of visible stars changes from place to place.

Here is a cool and easy science project to determine the rate of chlorophyll breaks down and how it affects the color change of grass from green to yellow.

In this project, learn about animal vision and different kinds of eyes: ocelli, compound eyes, and camera eyes. Find out what a jellyfish or grasshopper sees!

What makes your shadow dance around all day? Let's play detective and find out why that sneaky shadow never stays in one place for long.

What heats up fasterâwater or soil? 5th grade students test the specific heat of water against the specific heat of sand in this great science fair project.

This science fair project idea studies which brand of wintergreen candy produces the most sparks in the dark.

Find out whether optical mice are useful on all surfaces or if there are drawbacks to this supposedly superior solution to the traditional roller-ball mouse.

Ever wonder why refrigerator lights turn off when you close the door? Does the darkness prevent food from spoiling? This experiment, determines just that.

Explore how sound waves are reflected and absorbed by producing echoes. Analyze which locations produce echoes.

This science experiment tests why guacamole goes brown and if leaving the pit in will stop guacamole from turning brown.

This science fair project idea investigates if heat from direct sunlight is hotter than heat from reflected sunlight.

What cause the phases of the moon? Make a model to see how the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth cause the crescent, gibbous, quarter, full, and new moon.

We all know that the Moon has different phases, but it can be hard to figure out why. Try this activity to see how the Moon's phases really work.

Kids will make a beautiful rainbow in a jar and learn what enables different types of liquids to remain distinct in separate layers.
