Optics, the science of light, is studied by both scientists and engineers. It includes defining light, learning how it is produced, how it travels, and how it is measured. Today's picks run the gamut from simple science for K-3 students, to sites appropri
Science Snacks are "miniature versions of some of the most popular exhibits at the Exploratorium" science museum of San Francisco.
"In this lesson, you'll learn that light is very unusual even scientists think so.
This excellent site for elementary students (along with its sister site Optics for Teens at http://www.
"An age-old debate which has persisted among scientists is related to the question, 'Is light a wave or a stream of particles?' Very noteworthy and distinguished physicists have taken up each side of the argument, providing a wealth of evidence for each s
Another one for the high-school and college crowd, this physics primer from Florida State University is part of a larger site on microscopy, which is research using microscopes.
To understand the science of colors, we must first know something about the nature of light. Light is an energy source that behaves like a wave. The distance between the each wave is called the wavelength. Light of different wavelengths appear as differen
