Scientific paper

Over the past several years, as part of Project LITE Light Inquiry Through Experiments, we have developed hands-on (and eyes-on) resources for use in introductory undergraduate astronomy courses. These center on light, optics, color and visual perception. Many of the materials can also be used in K through 12 and informal science education settings, particularly our kit of inexpensive optical materials that is integrated with a set of Java applets. The combined kit and software gives students the chance to do actual experiments concerning geometrical and physical optics, fluorescence, phosphorescence, polarization and other topics by making use of the light emitted from computer screens. We have also developed over 200 Flash applets that allow students to directly explore many aspects of visual perception. In this presentation, we will demonstrate a variety of these physical and perceptual interactive experiences. All of the software can be found at http://lite.bu.edu. Project LITE is supported by Grant #DUE-0125992 from the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education.
