Second Grade Nature Activities Activities: Make Your Own Rainbow

based on 17 ratings

Studying the weather is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to introduce your child to science. Weather is present every day - in the wintery winds, the sunny summer, and the occasional rainbow overhead. If the sun is shining right after a rain, look up and you may catch one.

But you don't need to wait for rain to show your child a real rainbow. With this activity, you'll recreate the conditions which make rainbows appear, and teach your child the science behind all those pretty colors!

What You Need:

  • Sunny day
  • Shallow glass baking dish
  • Mirror
  • Water
  • Adult helper
  • White paper or cardboard
