Lesson of the Week Winner for 3/20/2023 - 3/24/2023

Congratulations to Mrs. Heller!

Heller LOTW 

While many of us were looking for a rainbow on St. Patrick’s day in an effort to track down a pot of gold, some of our first graders were busy making their own magic. Mrs. Heller’s students were outside using a clear triangular prism tool to make their own rainbows.

 

First, the class read about light and rainbows to build an understanding of how light refracts into its components. The students were astounded by the fact that white light is actually made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light.

 

Then, the class went outside, equipped only with a triangular prism tool and the white light from the sun, and turned those simple components into a rainbow of brilliant colors. By the lesson's conclusion, students understood that as light flows into the prism, it does not flow directly through, but actually gets bent in the prism and comes out at a different angle in multi-color. Students then compared this bending process to that of an arched rainbow in the sky.

 

This was an incredible activity. We were excited to follow the rainbow to its end, or in this case, its origin, and find this “pot” of teaching and learning gold.
