🌈 Exploring the Colours of Light! 🔺✨

This week in Science, Year 6 became light investigators as we explored how white light can be separated into the seven colours of the rainbow! 🌈

Using special glass prisms 🔺, we shone light through them and observed what happened. We learned that when white light passes through a prism, it bends, or refracts, causing the different colours within the light to spread out and become visible. 🎨

Many of us were successful in creating our own mini rainbows and were excited to spot the seven colours: ❤️ red, 🧡 orange, 💛 yellow, 💚 green, 💙 blue, 💜 indigo and 💖 violet. Some of us had to experiment with the angle of the prism and the position of the light source before we achieved success, showing great perseverance and problem-solving skills. 💡👏

The lesson helped us understand that white light is actually made up of many different colours, even though we cannot normally see them separately. 🔬🌟

We had lots of fun carrying out this practical investigation and seeing science come to life right before our eyes! 🌈✨
