Rainbow Science Discover How Rainbows Are Made with 23 Fun Experiments & Colorful Activates! by Artemis Roehrig (Author), Sarah Walsh (Illustrator)is a children’s book I received in exchange for this review. Inside the post are my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.
Life is funny when Homeschooling our children and what we can teach them which this week in our Science Class is Rainbows thanks to Artemis Roehrig and her children’s book Rainbow Science Discover How Rainbows Are Made with 23 Fun Experiments & Colorful Activates! which is full of fun and unique activates we can do as a family.
I love how the author including a pair of Rainbow glasses for us to wear during the activities. Charlie and I loved how the glasses have Rainbows on them and David through the white clouds looked like Mustaches. If you wanted to know what Charlie and I thought about the clouds we could also see how they could be mistaken for mustaches. LOL
Inside the front cover of the book is a envelope to keep the glasses in at all times. I like how the Author included which page to visit so we know how to use the glasses. Charlie couldn’t wait to share the information with his friend Bradley who wanted a pair of the glasses for himself so he could work in the book with Charlie.
Rainbow Science Discover How Rainbows Are Made with 23 Fun Experiments & Colorful Activates! is for Upper Elementary Students through Middle School although Charlie and Bradley are in high school and they found a lot of things they enjoyed doing in the book just as David and I did and were sure adults will as well.
We enjoyed learning how Rainbows are made and in our Homeschool Art Class Charlie and I had fun drawing Rainbows then we created Rainbows out or Rice and Maccarone. The next time we do this would you like to join us? Bradley liked learning when the best time is to look for Rainbows. Would you like to know when?
I wish we still lived in our Mobile Home because it would have been fun to make Hose Rainbows and we could do this at my mother in laws and then she can teach my nieces and nephews how to make Hose Rainbows. Would you like to come and join them? Charlie can’t wait to read and do the experiment in candy colors which I will have to keep David away from or he might eat the colors.
There is enough activities in the book to keep families busy for days on end. Charlie and I will be going know to make a Colorful Kaleidoscope and if you want to know what else is inside Rainbow Science Discover How Rainbows Are Made with 23 Fun Experiments & Colorful Activates! you will need to pick up a copy of the book.
Before you sit down to read the book add the Science Terms in the book to your Spelling List and bake Rainbow Cookies to eat as you work on the experiments and set out plenty of art supplies so you and your students can create Rainbows of there own. Also find a movie like The Magic School Bus: Makes a Rainbow for your students to watch when they finish reading the book and doing some of the activates which can be done over and over.
About the book:
This colorful book explores the fascinating Science of Rainbows and includes a pair of fun prism glasses so kids can see Rainbows right before their eyes! I spy a rainbow! But where do Rainbows come from? How are they made? Rainbow Science celebrates everything Rainbow, from the Science of Sunlight to the prism in raindrops to how our eyes see all the colors that make up a rainbow, in this colorful activity book.
Kids can be a rainbow scientist and learn how to search for rainbows, make their own rainbows with a hose, spin homemade color wheels, blow multicolored bubbles, make a kaleidoscope, and more. Simple materials lists and straightforward, age-appropriate experiment steps are accompanied by scientific explanations for each activity. Engaging illustrations give easy-to-understand explanations about rainbow science and the math and physics of light refraction. Tucked into the pocket on the inside front cover is a fun pair of wearable glasses so kids can see rainbows right before
