Material Detail

Release the Rainbow

Release the Rainbow

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow. This is a quick activity that can be used to demonstrate what happens when light is refracted and how a mirror can amplify the visible spectrum. This activity includes an explanation about light refraction and an article about rainbows.
