Explore Mysteries of Color --- Discover Why is Color
This site is the home of the Color Curiosity Shop, an educational resource that uses the various phenomena of color to introduce several disciplines of science. This project is currently in the development stages and will be growing quickly over the next year. After that it will remain a living resource.
I have completed the Short Answers page and a page of suggested Books and Links. I encourage you to explore and enjoy the material that is already there.
As of Dec. 2009 I am on track to build about one module a week until summer 2010 at which point my pace should increase to finish the online modules during summer 2010. The printed book will follow. You can watch my progress and explore the completed modules by visiting the Contents/Map page.
If you are interested in background material on the project, please visit my collection of Miscellaneous Project Information that includes things like a brief project overview and slides from an ISCC presentation.
Please submit comments or suggestions using this feedback form.
If you are easily amused, check out the QuickTime movie of the project icon cycling through all 64 modules!
