Properties of Cations: Flame Test Lab part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this lab students will make qualitative observations of flame color, a property of metals, to identify unknown metals in salt compounds.

The Reflection of Light part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an investigation where students experiment with reflection using plane mirrors.

Investigating Light: A Form of Energy You Can See part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This is a short unit (including hands on activities) to expand our study of how light travels and how it behaves when it hits an object.

Light & Sound, Light Reflection Relay part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an experiment where students learn about angles of reflection and use that knowledge to reflect a light beam around obstacles to a target across the classroom.

Identifying the sun as a source of light by observing shadows. part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a kindergarten field and classroom investigation where students make observations, collect data and share conclusions that shows they understand that the sun is a source of light.

Creating Your Own Sunset part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
