Curious Colors Experiment

Making a Rainbow (Sunny Day)

Materials you will need: • Water • Sunny Day • White Wall • Small Mirror • Shallow Dish

Steps:

1.  Put some water in a shallow dish.
2.  Prop up a small mirror in the water at an angle.
3.  Place the dish near a window and position the mirror so that sunlight hits it.

The light passes through the water and bounces off the mirror, making a faint rainbow appear on the wall.  If you do not have white walls, take a large piece of white card and hold it in front of the wall.  Adjust it until you can see the rainbow.

Colors of the Rainbow  =
