Tuesday 3/17: Catch the Rainbow!

March 17, 2020 by Club SciKidz MD

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Everyone knows that St. Patrick’s Day is about Ireland and Shamrocks and rainbows, but what is it really? Take look at the following videos to learn a little bit about this holiday and the man behind the holiday before we get into our science for the day.

St. Patrick’s Day for Primary (K-2) Students

St. Patrick’s Day for Intermediate (3-5) Students

St. Patrick’s Day for Moms & Dads

 

Somewhere over the rainbow….

Rainbows are another thing that are closely tied to St. Patrick’s day and Irish folklore in general. The legend has it that the leprechauns hide their gold at the end of the rainbow. While finding gold at the end of the rainbow would be nice, the science behind how a rainbow is formed is pretty neat. Some might even say magical 🙂

 

 

Are you ready to make your own rainbow?

Materials needed for today’s experiment: 6 paper towels, food coloring, 6 clear cups/glasses (on the smaller side), tray or pan, water

Want some more information on rainbows & how to make one using the sun & water inside your house?

Check out this awesome video & activity by Mystery Science. Click here to go to the webpage.

 

 

A note to moms, dads & supervising adults: Some of these links go to YouTube. As long as they watch on the webpage, it won’t go to YouTube. Please make sure to monitor your kids as they are watching the attached videos. Things labeled “Primary” is best for grades Kindergarten through 3rd, and things labeled “Intermediate” are best for grades 3rd and above, but you know your kiddos best.

    Could you please include a supply list in the text like yesterday? That way parents can be prepped before starting with impatient kids. Yesterday’s lab was fantastic! Thank you! They are really excited to do today’s as well.

      Most definitely! Thanks for the suggestion. We will make sure that there is a written supply list for each lesson. Also, there’s a few lessons coming up that may include a few items that you may not have at home (nothing totally weird though 🙂 so I’m going to give a few days heads up about those as well.

    Is there a way to get the daily posts emailed?

    • Club SciKidz MD says

      Yes, we are working on getting a “subscribe via email” function set up. Thanks so for your patience!

    So cool! Thank you for these daily experiment to do with the kids. My 3 year old loved it! and the videos giving them information about the experiment or topic first just makes it so much easier for us parents 🙂

      You’re so welcome! Anything we can support you as you’re working with your kiddos!

    This was so fun. We loved watching the progression of color over the last few days.

      It was neat, wasn’t it?!? I let mine sit over 48 hours until all of the water was absorbed. So very neat!

    This was a ton of fun – even a day after the ROYGBIV paper towels are going strong with the rainbow colors. Even my 11 year old was interested. Thanks for posting!

      You are very welcome. And the activity tomorrow will be great for your 11 year old!

    This one didn’t work for us. I think our cups were too tall.

    • Club SciKidz MD says

      March 23, 2020 at 7:34 pm

      Oh, so sorry it didn’t work! But you know, sometimes science doesn’t work how we want it to. The great part is that you can try it again! It really is a neat one.
