April 13th - April 17th

You are about to embark on the Specialist Rainbow Challenge! This week, our challenges will involve rainbows in all of our activities. You might even see rainbows pasted on friends windows, driveways, or doors. Rainbows can motivate us to continue to work through difficult times. Some people even believe that rainbows bring good luck, which we all can use more of! Make sure you take pictures while doing all of our activities.

Have you ever wondered how a rainbow is formed?

The Magic Milk Experiment

What you need:

• Milk

• Liquid Food Coloring

• Dish Soap

• Cotton Swabs

• Shallow Pan

Directions:

1. Pour a thin layer of milk in a shallow pan.

2. Add drops of food coloring all around in the milk.

3. Next, pick up a cotton swab and dip it in the dish soap.

4. Put the cotton swab in the milk, pressing it down in one spot and holding it there for about 15 seconds.

Here are some questions to ask yourself after the experiment:

1. What did you notice?

2. What happened when you put the cotton swab in the milk?

3. Why do you think that happened?

4. Why do you think it stopped moving around after a period of time?

5. What else did you observe?

STEAM Challenge

Your challenge is to use any material you have at home (legos, blocks, magna tiles, etc.) to construct a rainbow!
