DIY Spectroscope STEM Project for Elementary - The Science of Rainbows🌈

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Today we have a really fun project that is quite simple and uses budget friendly (mostly recycled) materials. Best of all it has HUGE wow factor!

We are building a spectroscope which will allow your students to discover the rainbow of colors hidden in different types of light. We have provided the science explanations for your lesson planning, plus an experiment for your students to conduct once they have made their spectroscopes.
