The COLORS of the Rainbow

On Monday, February 25, we talked about why we see different colors and light.

First we took a glass prism and a flash light and observed how white light is made up of all the colors on the spectrum. You can see the color spectrum when light refracts (or bends) through a glass prism.

In this picture you can see the color spectrum, somewhat. Pictures don't capture the colors very well.

The student is shining the flash light through the prism to see the color spectrum.

On the wall is a nice view of the color spectrum. 

Once the students figured out the best way to shine the light at the prism to see the color spectrum, they drew the colors they saw in their notebook.
