Light & Colour Discover the properties of light in this interactive science show Enquire Now Explore a variety of light concepts in this interactive school science show: Learn about the duality of light; is it a wave or particle or both? Investigate the visible light spectrum, including colour addition and subtraction Discover how the Doppler effect has been used to explain the structure of the Universe Explore luminescent minerals and other objects using ultraviolet light Find out why sunsets are red and learn about colour and energy relationships Make coloured shadows and create hovering image illusions using persistence of vision Learn about translucent, transparent and opaque materials Learn about refraction vs. reflection Investigate optical fibre and it’s use in hi-speed broadband technology Find out about your colour vision; can you see all of the spectrum? Available as a secondary school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the activities listed below will be covered during the conference. Upon booking, you will receive a PDF outlining the materials that you can have on hand to make the workshop more interactive. It’s not a problem if you can’t source all of the materials, as we’ll have these on hand for the workshop Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

Why not blue or green? Laser lights Investigate energy levels with different colour lasers against photolumiscent vinyl Colour mixing Mix primary light colours ... why are the secondary colours different to paint? Bubble Films See light split through a bubble film. Nice... and demonstrates wave theory Float that image Create a 3D floating image hovering in mid-air Magic specs These diffraction lenses are great for investigating lasers Glowing rocks Some minerals fluoresce under UV light... can you identify which ones? Hidden beaker Canola oil and this beaker have almost the same refractive index... lets hide it Hide me Transparent materials are quite difference to translucent ones. Optical illusions Light can be quite tricky, can you spot how they might work? Optical fibre Pretty.... and it can be used to transport massive amounts of information Colourful chemistry Some chemicals react to heat and change in colour... check them out! Colour vision Our Director is colour blind... are your students? Shiny disco ball Mirrors and light... what more can we say? Send images around the room! Mega lens Use this lenticular lens and magnify things, including you. Lasers Investigate how lasers work and see them through a cloud... neat!
