Make a rainbow with your child in your own home or backyard and learn how and why we see these colorful phenomena! For complete instructions, see Scholastic’s The Magic School Bus Simple Science experiment of the week. Also included is a simple explanation of what you’re observing and why. After you and your child do this experiment, together you can tell them what you discover (see “Send a discovery” at the bottom of the page).
If you and your 6-9 year olds aren’t familiar with The Magic School Bus, Ms. Frizzle, her class, and the wildly exciting adventures they have while engaging kids and educating them about science, find out more information, including when the show is aired on TLC and Discovery Kids, on the show’s website.
