In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction.
Light lets us see things, but did you know light can make things disappear, too? Meteorologist Ray Petelin has a simple experiment that shows this in action.
Explores the principles of light, reflection, and magnification through hands-on experiments. Children observe how a magnifying glass focuses sunlight to create heat, examine the effects of light ...

In this activity, students will perform several experiments, using simple materials to explore the properties of reflection and refraction and how they work in telescopes. Students also will observe ...
Dr. Koco with Mad Science joins FOX6 WakeUp with a fun experiment kids can do at home to learn more about refraction.
In this extract from the new book Beautiful Experiments: An Illustrated History of Experimental Science, science writer Philip Ball explains how Isaac Newton transformed our understanding of light.
The metamaterial samples that were used in the recent refraction experiments tend to have significant losses, and this could be an intrinsic property of negative-index materials There is strong ...
