Matt Kizer: Scenic and Lighting Design - A great resource for a teacher and students to visually see some lighting choices "on stage." Some free resources and some subscription ones. (Students could screenshot their lighting "looks" to turn it in). 

Mulvaney Studios Light Lab Interactive - A free interactive resource that allows you to place lights in many locations, and change angles, colors, and objects to light.

ETC Blog: Exploring colors and gels:  A cool lesson showing how gels fool your eyes and change the color of things. They suggested M&Ms but we have found more success with Tropical Skittles.
