Activity: De magie van licht - de eigenschappen van licht bestuderen

11th St Helens (Toll Bar) Scouting GroupĀ Ā  St. Helens Ā  Verenigd Koninkrijk

Describe what your team has done and tell us more about what your team has learnt:

Colour wheel predictions; Looking at different light sources through a spectroscope; Making rainbows through a jar or water, and comparing with a ‘polluted’ jar or water (containing sugar).

Light can be split into different colours, like in a rainbow. Different torches show different amounts of the colours in the spectroscope.
Mixing colours together using a colour wheel can make different colours, and not always what we think they will make. Mixing all the colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) makes a white colour, which is what light is made up of.

Making a rainbow with a torch and jar of water is tricky. If the water is ‘polluted’, the rainbow is a lot fainter and less bright than with pure water, like if the air or rain drops contain pollution when a rainbow is formed in the sky.

Projecten worden gemaakt door de teams en zij nemen de volledige verantwoordelijkheid voor de gedeelde gegevens. ā† All activities
