Sunlight Refraction Rainbow
A classroom experiment was conducted. Sunlight beams entering the classroom pass through a glass instrument and the sunlight refracts. When this happens, sunlight is separated into different rainbow colors, such as red, yellow, orange, green, violet and blue, or indigo.
Supplies
Glass blocks for refraction and a smooth white surface.
Capture a Rainbow in Broad Daylight
On a warm sunny day when the sun shines and it is penetrable through your classroom seize the moment for conducting a light refraction experiment! Use a smooth white surface as the refraction base, such as desk with a white surface and a glass block. Ask a student to hold the block facing the sun beams, so the light can pass through it and reflect the refracted colors on the surface of the desk. A simple and fun experiment for Primary Education students!
