Reflection Of The Rainbow

Part 1

Topic/Concept:

We will be learning about the colors of the rainbow.

Objective:

Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating objects in scientific activities. Of course the best way to spark interest in a rainbow is to see one in the sky, but if this is not possible, then make your own. Hold up a magnifier lens so that a sunray shining through the window goes through it and separates into a color spectrum. Or set a glass of water near a window so that the sun shines through the water.

Materials:

Catch a rainbow – reflect sun from a watch face lens and make the spectrum appear in different parts of the room. Chase it.

Set out some crayons or chalk in each of the rainbow colors, discuss the colors and experiment with them on white paper.

We need a glass door or window, joy liquid dish soap, magnifier lens, paint, crepe paper streamers and bubbles.

Advanced Preparation:

I as the teacher need to make a list and double check it to make sure we have all the materials on hand to accomplish what I have set up for my class to learn.

Procedure:
