Optics for Kids
"This excellent site for elementary students (along with its sister site Optics for Teens at http://www.opticsforteens.org/ ) is produced by the Optical Society of America, a professional organization of scientists, educators and students. Both sites explore careers in optics and the science of light (in What is Optics? and Educational Articles) and have printable study guides for K-12 classrooms. But Optics for Teens, besides having a more subdued color scheme, has two don’t-miss-them sections with interactive experiments: Optical Illusions and In the Lab."

Nova Online: Fireworks!
"This PBS site is my educational pick of the day. Start your tour with Name That Shell, where you’ll learn to differentiate a dahlia from a peony (we’re not talking gardening here.) Next is Anatomy of a Firework, which explains each firework component from the lift charge (gunpowder to hurl the firework shell) to the breaks (separate cardboard containers of stars.) The site concludes with a fabulous interactive science lesson about combustion titled On Fire. A Teachers Guide for grades five through twelve is also included."
