Refraction and Rainbows

Rainbow Lesson Plan  Links

1. Seven Colors of the Rainbow by Bindman – Seven Colors of the Rainbow is an easy read whileproviding a general overview of the history and laws of the covenant given to Noah and his descendants. After reading this book, readers can never again see the rainbow without remembering the story of Noah and the seven noahide laws.  The first eight chapters are available online.
2. Rainbows of Light – How a rainbow is made science experiment video.
3. A Rainbow on the Wall -Students perform a science experiment that leads them to explain how and why rainbows form.
4. About Rainbows - Find an explanation of rainbows; colors, shape, and properties, as well as phenomena such as supernumerary arcs and lunar rainbows.
5. Over the Rainbow with Isaac Newton - Students study rainbows and do an interdisciplinary assignment that includes poetry and a science experiment.
6. Physics- Watch an animated lesson about light waves and reflection, refraction and diffraction. (Scroll down and click on “Waves 1″.)
