The Discovery Center Museum is offering an engaging experiment to help children understand the science of light refraction and color mixing using simple materials such as a box, water bottles ...

WXMI — In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction. Some things are more dense (or heavier) than other ...

Explores the principles of light, reflection, and magnification through hands-on experiments. Children observe how a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to create heat, examine the effects of light on ...

Create a stunning rainbow-colored flame using safe, simple materials. This fun science experiment is perfect for learning ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Without light, we can't have sight. We see objects because of how light interacts with those objects, our eyes pick up that light, and our brains interpret it. This seems rather ...

"The colors of the spectrum, then, "are not Qualifications [alterations] of Light … (as 'tis generally believed), but Original and connate properties." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Created more than 400 years ago, the telescope is a tool that has allowed both amateurs and scientists alike to explore the sky in much more detail than they ever could with their naked eyes. All ...
