Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Rainbow With Water & Mirror" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. Sunlight looks white but is made of many colors. Water bends different colors by different amounts, splitting the light into a rainbow — just like raindrops do in the sky!
Fill a shallow dish with water and place a small mirror leaning inside it near a sunny window.
