Subject: Science
Title: Rainbow
by Bertha Wilson
Grade:  Kindergarten

Objective: Tlw learn the colors of the rainbow, and observe a rainbow.

Materials: water faucet, hose, sunlight, a clear glass, white paper, crayons or paint paddles (blue, orange, red, yellow, green)

Procedures:

Introduction:

Long ago, people believed that rainbow were magic. Some people believed that a rainbow was a bridge that appeared in the sky when the gods wanted to leave heaven and come to earth. Some believed that if you find the end of the rainbow where it touches the earth you will find a pot of gold. A rainbow is caused by sunlight shining on raindrops. To see a rainbow, you must have the sun behind you and rain falling in front of you. Sunlight looks white, but it is really made up of many colors. When sunlight enters a raindrop, it divides into various color spectrums. The rainbow reflects these colors, like a mirror. Many rays of sunlight, breaking up into their colors and reflecting off many drops of falling rain, make a shimmering, curved, colored rainbow.

Development:

Allow the children to fill a clear glass half full of water and place it on a piece of white paper. As the glass is tilted left and right spots of color appear. Let the children name the colors observed. Locate/find the colors that match what you see on the paint paddles.

Closure:

Rainbow Badge Day

Boys: The boys make and wear rainbow badges of various sizes and patterns.

Girls: The girls wear ribbons of many colors, sizes, patterns in their hair, clothes, shoes and socks.
