Many people live entire lives without knowing how to, or creating for the universe, a rainbow. We need more rainbows.

I remember seeing this done in maybe the first grade. I loved seeing that and my father got me a little prism.

    The prism was about 3″ long, a triangular pice of glass. I bet they still use the same ones.

How did you get such strong, colorful rainbows? Looks like you have a light table, but what else?

      the kids played around with them under the light and they found a way to make it happen all on their own, by moving the angle
