Science Experiments on Colors -- Day One

The kids just love science experiments. I've put together a short
unit of science experiments and activities based on colors.

Our first experiment was to see what colors were in "white
light." We did this in a dark room. We used a flashlight
covered over with black paper with just a slit allowing
light through. We set up a mirror in a bin of water
and shined the light at the mirror through the water. When
the light reflected onto white paper -- they saw rainbow colors.

Then we made our own rainbows with pipe cleaners and
styrofoam.
