Light and Color

We're Peter, Emma, Aaron, Ixchel, and Kaitlyn, and we're in our school's science club. Our teacher gave us a special assignment. We need to come up with a colorful art display that doesn't use paints! We went to the most colorful place we know in San Francisco, a cool museum called the Exploratorium. Our question: how can we produce colorful art, without using paint?

How would you investigate this question?
This investigation requires you to think in different ways. Start thinking about the different things you can do with light: you can bounce it off shiny things, or bend it when you make it pass through transparent things. Think of objects like suncatchers or "rainbow" goggles to help inspire you. Describe your investigation in your notebook and discuss it with your teacher, or go to Light and Color to learn what Peter, Emma, Aaron, Ixchel, and Kaitlyn discovered.
