Colors of Space: Exploration Place

About Educational Resource

Exploration Place offered an after-school program consisting of four 45-minute hands-on activities about colors and light in space. Activities included light filtering, ultraviolet light on Mars, light and sound travel, and diffraction and mixing.

This Program Model was developed and authored by Exploration Place, with minimal editorial input and review from NASA's Universe of Learning. NASA's Universe of Learning has contributed astrophysics content and subject matter expertise to support the creation of this material. 

Other organizations may adapt these materials to meet the needs of their specific audiences. While this Program Model was designed to serve the local audience of the authoring institution, it is shared here as an example for broader use. Users should adjust it as needed and use all or some of the content, as appropriate, for their own needs.
