Arts-In-Education Exploratory Enrichment

In-Class Workshop: Lights, Color, Action! by Mad Science

Presented by Zoda LLC, Mad Science of LI

SUMMARY: Exciting experiments on white light including color-wheel blending and prism-splitting spectrums introduce Newton’s color theory concepts. Students learn the differences between mixing colored light and mixing colored paint. Activities involving spectroscopes, ultraviolet light and chromatography provide lessons on scientific techniques used to study the physics of light. ** Every student takes home a "Mad Science Technicolor Blender" *** (Requires electricity and room that can be darkened) - EDUCATIONAL VALUE: This class will bring high-school-level physics to children, teaching them about the electromagnetic spectrum, visible versus invisible light, spectroscopy, and chromatography… only they will be having too much fun to realize that they have just learned about some pretty advanced topics!
