The Great Color Caper
Content themes: Light, Regional Science, Chemistry, Engineering
Oh no! Someone has stolen the colors from the city of Spectropolis…and we need your help to restore color to the city! In The Great Color Caper, your students will help solve the mystery of the missing colors as they learn about the nature of light and how colors are derived from light and pigments, sight, and perception. Join local scientists from PPG Industries in this interactive multimedia demonstration on the scientific principles behind color and light.
The Great Color Caper All-Day Adventure
Add Adventure Stations to the Great Color Caper assembly program to create a full-day experience. Begin your special science day with the Great Color Caper assembly program, and then dive deeper into the science as students explore color and light in small groups. Students experiment at 10 different activity stations that cover topics like UV light, emission spectrum analysis, and chromatography. Every student also receives a science souvenir.
Our staff will be at your site for a full day – we can do All-Day Adventures for up to 480 students per day, two hours per class. $850, all inclusive!
What You’ll Need:
- Two separate spaces, one for the assembly and one for the Adventure Stations.
- 15–20 adult volunteers or high school students. (Your Carnegie Science Center presenter will conduct a training workshop for volunteers 45 minutes before the first scheduled group.)
Call 412.237.3374 to book your next great science adventure!
All of our shows produced in partnership with PPG Industries have the following:
Time required: 45–60 minutes
Grades: 1–8
Fee: $475 includes set-up and one presentation; $225 for each additional presentation.
Our shows also are customized for the appropriate grade level and are aligned with national and Pennsylvania academic standards and anchors to help support your educational goals. We request that you do not book one of our programs for more than three consecutive grades at a time. To let your whole school in on the fun, book an All-Day Adventure or a multiple assemblies program.

In 2006, The Great Color Caper was the first of three new, large-scale, spectacular assembly programs being created with the generous support of PPG Industries. Scientists from PPG have assisted in the development of each show, adding their knowledge of cutting-edge research and technology to Carnegie Science Center’s expertise in presenting scientific concepts in engaging, entertaining ways. Each show travels in its own van and will include mind-blowing demonstrations and experiments. Be sure to check out all four of our dynamic shows, produced in partnership with PPG Industries. Plus, we have lots of other options
