Let's Learn How Rainbows Are Formed | Grow Your Own Rainbow! Science Experiment

📣Calling all Super Science Sleuths!! 📣

Join me in this one-time class where we learn how rainbows are formed and then...grow your own rainbow during our science experiment!  We'll learn about Sir Isaac Newton and how he experimented with prisms to separate sunlight into its individual colors. 

🌈 What is behind the "Grow Your Own Rainbow" experiment?  Learners will discover the science of chromatography and the effects of capillary action as they use simple materials found in their home to "grow" their own rainbows.  🌈

Here is what other Outschool parents are saying about this class:
💬 "It's been over an hour since this class ended and my daughter is STILL making rainbows.  She LOVED this class.  I expected her to love it though, since this teacher is AMAZING.  We've done a handful of her Science classes and it's always a great time for my 7 year old."

💬 "My nine-year-old daughter liked this class! She liked the various teaching methods and how hands on the class is! She is still experimenting well after the class is over."

💬 "Lesson was more exciting then it sounds, and it’s way up there with how magical rainbows really are! Your lessons are always so well planned and executed! We love the videos and the amount of information you manage to code through hands on activities!"
