Make A Rainbow |
|||
This is an exciting experiment to make your own rainbow! All you need is light and water! Light is made up of the colors of the rainbow, and when light rays are bent, they separate into rainbow colors. Water helps bend the light. This is called refraction. | |||

How To Make: | |||
1. Fill up the glass container 3/4 full. 2. In a dark room, shine the flashlight through the water in the container onto the wall. 3. It may take a little experimenting to find the rainbow. I found it worked best to shine the flashlight from the bottom of the container and out of the top of the water. If you can't get the rainbow, try moving the flashlight back and forth and at different angles. (You can also try placing a mirror in the water at an angle, and reflecting the light back at a white piece of paper.) Note: you can also make a rainbow using a garden hose outside, weather permitting! |

Rainbow Snacks |

Arrange of rainbow of snacks for your child. I arranged them onto a skewer for a classroom snack for St. Patrick's Day (with some muffins sprayed with gold), but this isn't necessary for at home! | |||
