Tools to explore color

















Students got to explore color using a prism, a flashlight and white paper. They enjoyed making rainbows and we got our fill of "oohhs" and "aahhs" as students remarked in wonder at the rainbows that seemed to appear magically.


For more color mixing fun, students tried on glasses with lens that can be overlapped to create a world of red, yellow, blue, orange, green and/or purple. Many were very savvy as to which colors they needed to created the color they desired.



Finally, they observed a colorful disk, colored in sections and predicted if they would see the separate colors if the wheel was spun.
