Create a homemade pair of sunglasses with colored lenses to see just how light and color affect our sight! Use this fun project to practice science!

Check out this cool science fair project idea to explore which other common animals besides scorpions glow under a UV Black light.

How fast does light travel in different mediums? Kids conduct a cool refraction experiment in materials like water and air for this science fair project.

Science fair project that determines how your mirror image differs from your actual image and how virtual images are constructed.

The purpose of this science fair project is to explore whether UV light passes through some colors and not others by looking at blue, red, purple, and clear.

In this science fair project, students focus sunlight with a magnifying glass and trap shorter waves to melt ice.

In this project, sunlight is blocked from a leaf in order to see the affect that sunlight has on leaves.

Determine if certain colors of light are more effective for photosynthesis. Plant seeds in cardboard boxes with different light, record visible growth.

Science fair project which compares the rates of photosynthesis for various light sources. Which type of light will be best for photosynthesis and why?

How do series and parallel circuits work, and which produces the brightest light in a light bulb? Construct both in this project and find out!

Ant behavior is closely related to light intensity. This free science fair project idea examines how fast ants dig when they are exposed to to light and dark.

Construct and experiment with a periscope using reflected light rays to gather an image.

This project tests the hypothesis that dark colors absorb more heat than light colors.

In this experiment a spectrometer is used to analyze the light emitted by burning ion solutions.

Science fair project that examines how light wavelengths affect photosynthesis in the aquatic plant: Elodea.

This science fair project idea explores if an LED light can be powered by vegetables and/or fruits.

This experiment evaluates whether a person's eye color affects their ability to identify colors in low light.

Examine the connection between temperature and chemiluminescence.

Science fair project that demonstrates how a rainbow forms, by using water to split white light into its many colors.

This science project helps students gain understanding of bioluminescence, the phenomenon that allows fireflies and glow worms to give off light.

Measure the effectiveness of detergent containing a UV-absorbing compound in blocking UV-A radiation. Use black light and UV detecting beads.

What are the effects of colored light on plant growth? Explore plant behavior in this cool botany science fair project and learn about phototropism!

Create a double-slit interference out of cardboard. Produce an interference pattern that demonstrates the wave and particle characteristics of light.

Compare ability of selected materials to block UV-A radiation. Shine black light though glass at detecting beads underneath. Note color intensity.

Learn about magnifying glasses, concave lenses and inverted images by sending rays of light through a magnifying glass in this cool science fair project!

Science fair project that examines albedo, and how this information is applied in the design of cars, sportswear, and other items. Which colors reflect light?

Science fair project which compares the rate of temperature change and the maximum temperature as a result of the angle of light radiation.

This experiment evaluates if the lighting in a room affects the speed at which test subjects perform mental tasks.

In this science fair project, we'll explore how blocking the sun's light can stop those can stop photosensitive paper from changing color.
