Optics for Kids
Understanding the science and engineering of optics
Hi, kids! Learn some fun and interesting things about OPTICS here. Optics is the science of LIGHT, and one of the most important fields of PHYSICS.
Also, who are scientists and engineers? How do they see light? With their eyes? Yes, actually - but in other ways, too.
Click on the topics above to start learning!
Parents and Teachers: Please note also that we do not sell lenses or other optical "hardware" for experiments.
Some activities may require Macromedia Flash, Java, or Adobe Reader (to read PDFs) to work.
Next: What is Light
"Optics For Kids" has been recognized as a recommended resource on the iGuide site from Encyclopedia Britannica for offering high-quality content.
