Well this week we have been studying rainbows and how they become what the are :) It took a few days to get to do this particular experiment because it was cloudy the first half of the week and today was finally sunny! WOOHOO!
We were both excited to read and use the sun and water to create our own personal rainbow and of course sing the rainbow song...we learned this song 2 yrs ago on the mickey mouse club on disney kids channel at our aunt's house. Since then it has really stuck and given us the opportunity to remember even the ORDER of colors. Today we learned why red is the strongest and first color of the rainbow- well its the strongest color! Anyway this has just been so much fun and I am so glad I get to share my love of science with my son, even if we do (both of us) dislike school!! HAhhaha!!!! Also our cat wanted to get involved too :)
I don't know the rainbow song. When I taught high school, many of my students used "Roy G. Biv", which I'd never heard, to remember the order of the colors. I always used the old English sentence "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain."
ReplyDeletethat is an interesting saying :) It is not to a known tune or anything so I can even say put it to the tune of " " but it is catchy
