Introduction to the Colors of Light for Middle School or Older. NGSS MS-PS4-2, HS-PS4-3
- 4 months ago
This video is designed to help introduce Middle School students (or older students) to the colors of visible light. The focus is on demonstrating that "white light" is made of many colors of light (or at least the 3 primary light colors) that we see at the same time and in the same place. We do an experiment similar to what Isaac Newton did and show how prisms and water droplets can separate out the colors of white light during a process of refraction.
