How Many Colors Does it take to make White Light?

This is Sam lost in Starfall!

Samuel and Avelynn made color wheels today!


We used our compass to make a circle of white foam. Divided it into 6 (almost) equal sections.


Colored in Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Purple. When we attached our wheels to a pencil and spun them like a top... the foam appeared white again!



Sam Says " its magic"


This experiment was lots of fun and produced alot of laughs! We talked about Sir I Newton and his refraction of white light, but Sam is settled on it being magic and that is fine with me! Smiles
