Read Sun Up, Sun Down by Gail Gibbons. On a sunny day, hold a clear glass of water above a sheet of white paper and watch as the sunlight passes through the glass of water. Explain how light refracts (bends) and forms a rainbow of colors on the sheet of paper. Try holding the glass of water at different heights and angles to see if it has a different effect. Also try this activity with prisms in water.  This can be done in the science center or during oudoor time.
