Replicating Colors: Using tints, shades and primary colors part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this activity, students will mix paints and create a formula to match a muted color. The formula will be tested. Students will discuss their observations and develop new questions about color mixing to pursue.

Bending Light part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity will allow students to see light bending. The students will be able to calculate the amount of bend or refraction that occurs with various mediums.

Lenses Image Formation part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a laboratory investigation where students observe images produced by concave and convex lenses, and how light travels through the lenses.

Camping Trip: How can we measure the wavelength of light emitted from stars? part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a chance for students to apply the diffraction grating equation m*Λ/d = Θ to solve a real life problem: find the wavelength of given source of light. It is also useful for them to apply trigonometry to real life scenarios.

The Formation of Images by Plane and Spherical Mirrors part of Starting Point: Teaching and Learning Economics:Teaching Methods:Using Media to Enhance Teaching and Learning:Examples
The formation of images by plane and spherical mirrors will be studied by examining paintings done by several masters which include images formed in mirrors.
