Light is electromagnetic radiation which is visible to the human eye. In this lesson, students will investigate light and colour. They will be taught how rainbows are created and will produce their own colour wheels, they will learn how the Visible Spectrum works and the science behind it. They will also look at filters and how they absorb and reflect different colours and will experiment with filters themselves. Links are given to two informative video clips and the lesson comes with an engaging presentation and lesson plan.

This lesson has been planned for Year 6 students but can easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3.
