How Illuminating!

New! What is light? How is light created? What secrets can light tell us?

In our newest presentation, we make light! Using demonstrations that make light with mechanical, heat, electrical, and chemical energy, students learn that adding energy to atoms creates light.  Students also learn that each type of atom creates specific colors of light.  Students will apply this knowledge by determining the composition of a mystery substance by observing the light it emits.

This program supports the Colorado Model Content Standards for Science: 1, 2, 5
