Topic/Concept:
We will be learning about the colors of the rainbow.
Objective:
Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating objects in scientific activities. Of course, the best way to spark interest in a rainbow is to see one in the sky, but if this is not possible, then make your own. Hold up a magnifier lens so that a sun ray shining through the window goes through it and separates into a color spectrum. Or set a glass of water near a window so that the sun shines through the water.
Materials:
Catch a rainbow – reflect sun from a watch face lens and make the spectrum appear in different parts of the room. Chase it.
Set out some crayons or chalk in each of the rainbow colors, discuss the colors and

Initiating Activity:
The rainbow is a beautiful, natural phenomenon which continues to inspire people in many ways. The colors of the rainbow are perceived as a set of hues arranged in a specific order. To better remember this order, simply remember the name Roy G. Biv which consists of the first letters of each hue. The seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. This is the order from the outside-in of the rainbow's arch. In general, rainbow colors represent diversity and acceptance.
The rainbow inspired scientists to further explore the nature of color and light because the rainbow allowed drawing the conclusion that color is somehow connected to light. If we want to better understand color, we must take a closer look at light. And, if we want to better understand light, we must care about energy.
Sometimes we can see a rainbow arc in the sky, when the sun shines through raindrops. This doesn’t happen very often. Most of the time when it rains, clouds are covering the

• How many colors are in the rainbow?
• Where are rainbows found?
Extension:
Blow bubbles outdoors and look for colors in the bubbles.
Paint with liquid watercolors (on white paper) in the primary colors of blue, red and yellow. Mix them and discover new colors.
“Visuals” Visual media help students acquire concrete concepts, such as object identification, spatial relationship, or motor skills where words alone are inefficient.
“Visual-Spatial” Think in terms of physical space, as do architects and sailors. Very aware of their environments. They like to draw, do jigsaw puzzles, read maps, and daydream. They can be taught through drawings, verbal and physical imagery. Tools include models, graphics, charts, photographs, drawings, 3-D modeling, video, videoconferencing, television, multimedia, texts with pictures/charts/graphs.

I did not like science very much when I was in school. I do remember being excited in the fourth grade about making a model of the solar system. I had foam balls and wire hangers and paint to color the planets their correct colors. Also during this same time, I was assigned the planet Pluto to write a report about it. That was the year that I learned Pluto was the smallest
We started the research primarily on the internet as we found a lot of informative sites we also confirmed the information using books. The books and sites used were www.technicolor.com, www.widescreenmuseum.com/oldcolor/technicolor1.htm and www.imdb.com. The books are as follows, Glorious Technicolor: the movies' magic rainbow / Fred E. Basten. Barnes, 1980 and Mr. Technicolor / Herbert T. Kalmus with Eleanore King Kalmus.

Today artists doing to explain an idea are really interesting and attractive to look to it, especially when it comes to colors. Do artists know how to do magic? Or they take control of the viewer by using colors? For example, when you see the red color in a surprising way it mean stop now. “God made the country; man made the town” the deprivation of colors makes the town really sad. Life without colors is unbearable. Scientific explanation of the white color is a mixture of rainbow colors; it is not fair to dispensed seven colors for one color. The science does not consider the black as a color, although it was considered as a color from ancient time. They think black is a symbolism of mystery and mysterious like the god. (Gage, J. Color and meaning)(Conroy, E. The symbolism of color: 1921)
Based on the findings that one has discovered in life itself, in essence, color helps with the flows of life in a way that it can determines your thoughts, emotions, and decisions. In my research I gained a vast amount knowledge and from what I’ve learned; now I can explain colors in depth, with a great amount of detail. If colors were non-existent, then, there would be a very grey look upon life. Colors brings forth light, and the light brings forth living. The world displays colors for a reason and it’s very important to life.

In 1704 Newton actually composed the book on the refraction of light. Jazzily titled "Opticks," the work changed the way we consider light and color. Researchers of the day realized that rainbows formed when the light was refracted and reflected in raindrops, however, they didn 't know why rainbows were so beautiful. At the point when Newton initially started his studies at Cambridge, the normal theory was that the water some way or another colored the sun 's beams distinctive colors. Utilizing a light and a crystal, Newton tested by running white light through a crystal to separate it into a rainbow of colors. The crystal trick was nothing new, The crystal trick was nothing new. By mirroring the scattered pillars into another crystal, however, Newton reformed them back into the white light, proving that the colors were a characteristic of the light
It creates moods of happiness and security for the viewer as we are transported back to a world we know: color. In his article Color and Storytelling in Films, Robert Mills says, “Kansas is described as grey and lifeless whilst Oz, being over the rainbow, is colorful. There is also an element of reality (black and white) versus fantasy (color) between the two worlds.” He explains how the two worlds are so different, just by the use of color.
Light is what lets you experience colour. The pigment of the retina in your eyes is sensitive to different lengths of light waves which allows you to see different colours. The wavelengths of light that humans can see are called the visible colour spectrum.
Making shaving cream slither between fingers are just art activities that promote creativity in many early learning classrooms. For example, a teacher may be doing a finger paint project with the small group of three-year-olds, Johnny starts to see that when mixing the primary colors red and blue makes purple. He then starts dipping his fingers in more paint watches to see that red and yellow makes orange. He amazes on how mixing colors can make a new
One example would be that a student in astronomy could learn about the solar system. How it works by touching planets, see the stars, and move into the space, track progress of a comet and more. This also allows them to see how concept work in the virtual environment. This is useful for students who have some particular learning ways, creative or those who find it easier to learn using colors, textures and symbols (Virtual Reality, 2009).
So how do we get to see a rainbow in the sky? First condition that must be fulfilled is that the sun must be shining, more to that, the sun must be behind you and raindrops must be present in the sky. When these three conditions are present, then the sun will shine to the little droplets that act a prism. The rays will get refracted twice, thus, producing different variety of colors. However, each drop will only produce one color thus ...
In the world of fascinating sights, colors are all are found everywhere in all sorts of ways. Colors are put into categories and types depending on what one is looking at. Some categories of colors may include: value-tints/shades, complementary colors, analogous colors, cool colors, warm colors, and neutral colors. The types of colors within these categories include: primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary, analogous, active and passive colors. These types and categorizes can be seen in a circular diagram that is divided by hue, saturation, and value called, the color wheel. The color wheel consists of all colors that are within the visible spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum A basic color wheel includes: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet. As one looks cl...
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
