Rainbow Science Materials for Rainbow Reflection Science for Kids ● ● ● Flashlight CD Blank white paper Procedure for Exploring Rainbow Reflections 1. Look carefully at the blank side of a CD. What do you see? What happens when you tilt it back and forth? 2. 3. Find a dark room in your house. Place the CD on the floor. Tape a piece of white paper to your wall. Aim the flashlight at the CD so that it makes the rainbow reflect onto your blank paper. What colors do you see? What different patterns can you make by moving the flashlight around?
Question to Spark More Curiosity & Critical Thinking How do you think the colors are getting onto the paper? Experiment with changing the distance from the CD to the paper. What happens? Why? White light (like light from the flashlight) is made up of 7 colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). The CD separates the white light into the 7 colors that make it up, where they then reflect onto the wall. A CD is made of aluminum (and covered with a clear coat of plastic. ) It also has ridges in the metal which the light reflects off of.
