Where do the colors in a rainbow come from? What is special about laser light? What can a spectrometer tell us about gas clouds in space? What is paper chromatography and how can it be used to create abstract art? How do Polaroid sunglasses work and what can you do if you have two pairs of them?
Discover the answers in a three-part program, conducted by Tony James, mechanical engineer and San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation volunteer. Directly experience light and color, hands-on, and participate in fun activities. The scientific content will be limited to the basic physics principles involved and will be appropriate for girls ages 9-13.
