Rainbow-Scope Science Kit for Kids

Children love rainbows! Younger children enjoy seeing the array of color and learning the order of the color spectrum, while older children are fascinated to learn more about the physics of light and color. Our Rainbow-Scope Activity Kit allows children to make a spectroscope of their very own and includes everything they need.

The kit includes materials for each participant to make a Rainbow-Scope, such as custom-made Rainbow-Scope tubes, die-cut foam ends, diffraction film, and a card to color and wrap around a Rainbow-Scope for decoration. Tacky glue and a prism are also provided. Additionally, the kit includes an exclusive instructor's activity guide that provides instructors with everything they need to teach about light, color, and rainbows, plus a reproducible worksheet for the participants.

The first step is to place one piece of the diffraction grating over one end of the tube. Then, the custom die-cut foam pieces are glued to each end. Once assembled, the children can look through the scope at any light source and see light separated into its component colors (also known as a rainbow!). The outside can be colored appropriately, and voila, a rainbow-colored, Rainbow-scope!

Older kids can view a variety of different light sources and compare and contrast the various color bands that are emitted. The activity is suitable for ages 4 and up and is easy to follow, with instructions aligned to education standards. By engaging in this hands-on activity, children can learn more about light and the color spectrum, while also making a real, working spectrascope.

The Rainbow-Scope Activity Kit provides everything needed to make 100 projects, making it an ideal resource for educators, parents, or anyone interested in exploring the wonders of light and color with children. The kit's comprehensive design and easy-to-follow instructions ensure that participants can fully immerse themselves in the learning experience and gain a deeper understanding of the fascinating science behind rainbows and the color spectrum.
