Jello lenses and laser pointers are always fun! With a long, thin strip of Jello and a good laser pointer, you can even demonstrate TIRF.

You can also measure the width of your hair by taping it across a laser pointer and measuring the diffraction pattern that it produces.

If this is the type of thing you are interested in doing, let me know. I have lots of these quick, easy examples that I use for my class. If these are of interest, you can contact me directly and I can send you some additional info!

Good luck with your program!!
