This article provides an overview of icebergs' formation and characteristics and the hazards associated with icebergs.
Students will explore the use of cool colors in Bouguereau's painting 'Childhood Idyll'; experiment with cool, warm, and complementary colors; and create a self-portrait using one of these color schemes. Students will learn the concepts of cool, warm, and complementary colors, core knowledge that will help them with all artistic lessons they may encounter in the future.
Students will listen to Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle and use color vocabulary to help them recall the story. They will be able to complete a sentence frame using color vocabulary to show their comprehension of the book.This art history activity will allow students to practice using their new color vocabulary.

This lesson serves as a review for line, shape, color, and pattern for all students. The lesson also reinforces these concepts in english for ESL students. All students participate in speaking, writing and creating activities. Also, students are introduced to the NC Museum of Art through a virtual field trip.

Students use simple materials to design an open spectrograph so they can calculate the angle light is bent when it passes through a holographic diffraction grating. A holographic diffraction grating acts like a prism, showing the visual components of light. After finding the desired angles, students use what they have learned to design their own spectrograph enclosure.
In a hands-on way, students explore light's properties of absorption, reflection, transmission and refraction through various experimental stations within the classroom. To understand absorption, reflection and transmission, they shine flashlights on a number of preselected objects. To understand refraction, students create indoor rainbows. An understanding of the fundamental properties of light is essential to designing an invisible laser security system.
Students will take on a mystery, Sherlock Holmes style, to uncover the secrets, history, and deeper meanings of Moyo Ogundipe's painting Soliloquy: Life's Fragile Fictions.
Students will be able to: explain why Ogundipe used particular colors, patterns, and images for his painting; discuss what the snakes and birds symbolize in the picture; and express in their own words at least three reasons the different elements of the painting are a treasure.
Students will read through chapter 12 of The Giver where they find that the people in The Giver got rid of the ability to see color. First students will look at a variety of colors and determine what emotions the colors make them feel. Then they will each write about a color without giving the name of the color; the students in the class will need to guess the color. After that assignment, students will analyze how colors affect behaviors and emotions and critically determine why the people in the that world decided to make everyone see in black and white. Students will end the lesson answering the question "Why do you think we have color in our world?"
Students are introduced to different ways of displaying visual spectra, including colored "barcode" spectra, like those produced by a diffraction grating, and line plots displaying intensity versus color, or wavelength. Students learn that a diffraction grating acts like a prism, bending light into its component colors.
This article features science lesson plans to teach elementary students about the sun's energy, the relationship between light and heat, albedo, and the absorption of different surfaces. National standards and literacy integrations are provided for each lesson.
This lesson includes an Internet exploration that focuses on the roles of the eye and brain in the perception of color. It includes an introduction to the anatomy of the eye, including the functions of rods and cones. It is recommended that students complete the first 2 activities (Light 1 and Light 2) prior to this activity.
This article describes the basics of thermography or thermal imaging, and how this technique can inspire a data collection activity to teach about heat transfer and energy efficiency.
Students will investigate constructive and destructive interference by observing the light patterns on the surface of soap bubbles.
Students use authentic spectral data from the Cassini mission of Saturn and Saturn's moon, Titan, gathered by instrumentation developed by engineers. Taking these unknown data, and comparing it with known data, students determine the chemical composition of Saturn's rings and Titan's atmosphere.
In this lesson, students will read the book The Bears' Picnic by Stan and Jan Berenstain. As the book is read, a list should be compiled of the things the bears took on the picnic. The items on the list can then be grouped according to physical characteristics.
