You'll find a wealth of resources at this site dedicated to color! Easy-to-read discussions can be found on topics ranging from the science of light to complementary colors and the color wheel. All special terms are highlighted and...

Site explores colors and how they are formed. Provides three different activities to explore color.

Students are presented with a challenge question concerning color blindness and asked to use engineering principles to design devices to help people who are color blind. Using the legacy cycle as a model, this unit is comprised of five...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Overview of the different colors in visible light and how they relate to its wavelength, how a prism separates visible light into its different colors, the colors of...

Try making words on the screen disappear by changing the background color of this page. Add or subtract red, green, or blue, and see how light is made up of many different colors.

In this science fair project, paint color pie slices onto a wheel and spin the wheel on an electric drill. See how colors add together to make new colors. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

Is that right side of your brain yearning to express its artistic side? This is a project that blends art with science. Learn about light and colorful shadows in these experiments where you mix and match various colors of light to create...

A collection of simple experiments for exploring the basic properties of light and color.

This series of programs includes hand-tinted archival films, contemporary offerings by local artists, and films created by artists drawing and painting on the film surface itself. Featuring animated, documentary, and homemade works.

Notice how magazines print photos using dots made up of percentages of only three colors and black. Try your hand at using percentages of cyan, magenta and yellow to match the magazine color displayed.

Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all...

You know how to make new colors by mixing paint or crayons. For example, you get green by mixing yellow and blue, or orange by mixing red and yellow. With paint, blue, yellow, and red are primary colors, which you can use to make other...

A brief explanation of the visible color wheel.

In this science fair project, experiment with the role temperature plays in the rate at which UV beads lose their color. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction,...

Different step by step experiments in Optics, Light and Color. These experiments will help the students to investigate the world of light, color and optics.

Students are introduced to the physical concept of the colors of rainbows as light energy in the form of waves with distinct wavelengths, but in a different manner than traditional kaleidoscopes. Looking at different quantum dot...

A collection of tutorials and interactive resources, from basic to advanced, that explain concepts related to the science of light.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Sight, or vision, is the ability to see light. It depends on the eyes detecting light and forming images. It also depends on the brain making sense of the images, so...

You've probably noticed the colorful patterns "reflecting" from the shiny surface of a CD disk. What you are seeing is actually diffraction of white light, and the rainbows of color are diffraction patterns. In this project you'll learn...

Read about the visible light spectrum and learn the frequencies and wavelengths for each of the primary and secondary colors.

Manipulate dual shadows and learn why different types of shadows are cast.

Learn about additive mixtures in this activity. Understand how your rods and cones work together to see color.

Test your knowledge of light, sound, and color with these practice science questions.

Take this quiz that contains basics questions on light, sound, and color.
