The Importance of Learning about Rainbows

If you love rainbows, you won't want to miss these exciting ways to learn with rainbows through rainbow science experiments!

A rainbow is an everyday occurrence, but there is a lot that kids can learn with a rainbow theme!

The rainbow itself is a powerful illustration of reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light. Rainbows appear when water droplets are in the atmosphere, and when light shines on them just right, you can see the entire visible light spectrum.

That is an exciting sight for most kids, but you don’t have to *just* learn about the rainbow with a real rainbow.

Many kids are rainbow-obsessed, so rainbows are a fun tool for exploring other science themes.

What makes something fun more than bright, happy colors?

Pretty much nothing, which is why we’re such huge fans of making a rainbow science experiments!

About Brenda Priddy

Brenda grew up thinking she hated science.

But when her 4-year- old daughter was more interested in reading science facts than fairy tales, Brenda realized she had to learn more about science to keep up with her daughter.

Through simple at-home science experiments, Brenda developed a passion for science and now acts as an advocate for STEM education for kids at her website STEAMsational.com.
