Experiments (continued) 2. Rainbow Colors Place a glass of water on a white piece of paper and let the sun shine through it. The water breaks the sun's light into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, indigo, and violet. These are the colors you see in a rainbow when the sun shines through water drops in the air. For more on rainbows, go here. Weather ideas for elementary students: 1. Draw a picture of your favorite activity to do in the sun. Collect pictures from magazines of sunshine activities. 2. Talk about the benefits of sunshine. Talk about problems from sunshine. 3.
