Creating a Rainbow

Tuesday, we learned how to create a rainbow using a prism 
and sunlight.
We remember the rainbow colors and order of colours by the mnemonic
ROY G BIV
(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)

We, then, created suncatchers with crystals to create our own 
rainbows with a crystal
and showed the rainbow with coloured beads.

We have been watching as the crystals create beautiful rainbows all around our classroom!
