Introduce starting space scientists to the electromagnetic spectrum, expecially the portion of visible light. Teach them about wavelength and frequesncy. Then give them a roll of adding machine tape and a manila folder to make a...

While all light travels at the same speed, each color in the visible light spectrum contains a different wavelength and frequency. Scholars determine the relationship between frequency and wavelength as they complete the activity. They...

Students examine the concept of frequency and wavelength. They analyze how frequency and wavelength relate to each other by conducting an experiment involving measuring and timing wavelengths by pulling adding machine tape through an...

ROY-G-BIV make up the colors in a rainbow. Watch a video that explains the science behind rainbows, and how to create one at home.

In this colors of the rainbow worksheet, learners fill out a chart by first correctly coloring each letter of Roy G. Biv to show the colors of the rainbow. For each color, students write the color word and the name of an object as well...

Students test their memory recall and discuss its association to color. After reading an article, they discuss the natural and psycho-sociological significance of the color red. As a class, they participate in a mood-color association...

Students study the elements of color in paint and light. In this color science lesson, students discuss colors in their world, white light, and rainbows. Students mix three primary paint colors to make various secondary colors. Students...

How do you remember all of the colors of the rainbow? One trick is to remember "Roy G. Biv." This video demonstrates how "Roy G. Biv" can help you to remember the colors.

Students identify the colors of the rainbow. in this early physics lesson plan, students learn the mnemonic ROY G BIV to help them memorize the colors of the rainbow. This lesson plan includes a teacher-led demonstration and a discussion...

Build a spectrometer to analyze properties of light. Scholars examine the spectrum from CDs and DVDs from two different light sources. Using the spectrum, they work to identify different elements.

Here are some instructions for leading learners through a hands-on activity for investigating ultraviolet radiation. First, introduce them to light and refraction. Then introduce them to the electromagnetic spectrum. Finally, give...

Who doesn't love a rainbow? Little ones adore them, so why not make rainbows the subject of your next art project. Your class can use watercolor to paint rainbows. As they do, have them identify the colors in the rainbow, talk about how...

In this light worksheet, students read what makes light, the speed of light, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Students complete 12 matching, 8 fill in the blank, and 9 word problems.

In this light learning exercise, students match 12 terms related to light and the electromagnetic spectrum to their definitions, they order waves by their speed, they analyze the energy and wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum and...

Young scholars discover the different colors in the rainbow by using Play-Doh.  In this color spectrum lesson, students investigate the causes of a rainbow and the order of the colors.  Young scholars create their own rainbow models by...

Students are given a mnemonic device to review the light spectrum as it relates to the different components of refracted light. In this components of light lesson, students read Light Magic and review the properties of light. Students...

Students become familiar with the concept of spectroscopy or the study of the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation. They prepare solutions and measure absorbance at different wavelengths. Pupils comprehend that mater and...

Students use food coloring and frosting to make an edible color wheel. They identify the primary colors and experiment with mixing colored frosting to produce the secondary colors. Students then eat their color wheel.

After talking a bit about the visible spectrum, physical science stars build spectrometers in order to actually view it. Using a compact disc, they will examine fluorescent and incandescent light and then draw the emission spectra on the...

In this algebra worksheet, 9th graders are given an aptitude test on basic mathematical concepts using words problems and real life scenarios. There are 33 problems in this worksheet.

First graders listen to the Rainbow Fish and sing the song We Are Crayons and list. In this respect and cooperation lesson plan, 1st graders answer questions about things that make them special. Students write something that makes them...

Which sports drink provides the best pick-me-up after the big game or grueling workout? It may not be the one you'd think! Food science is the focus in a surprising lab activity. Pupils use colorimetry to determine the amount of protein,...

Students are introduced to the names of colors in Spanish. After being shown artifacts, they identify and write the color of each object. They also create a coloring sheet in which they trade with their classmates when needed.

Students are introduced to the concept of multiculturalism. They explore "colors" of people in a book The Colors of Us by Karen Katz. Students experience the ingredients and materials for Rainbow Stew.
