Luminous Light
Red + green = yellow? Explore the mysteries of light and sight!
Kids will experiment with light and colour in this "don't always believe what you see" activity! Learn how to trick your eyes using colour, mix different colours of light, and explore how our eyes work. Then, draw your own reverse colour drawing to try with your friends!
1 Your Guide
As a scientist, I LOVE exploring and learning through hands-on experimenting! Planting seeds and sprouts and watching them grow is one of my favourite things to do. I am an active learner and am currently participating in my MEd, my fourth university degree. I have worked with the Ontario Science Centre, Science North, and as a grade 7 and 8 classroom teacher for many years - all great places to try new things. I believe staying curious is the most important thing people can do!
I like taking pictures of plants, animals, water and sky, then use them to create fun works of art using glass, wood or paint!
