Why are there only seven colours in the rainbow? Why do we only need three primary colours? What happens when we look at familiar objects under coloured light? A series of hands-activities to explore the KS3 light curriculum in a fun way. We take light for granted and have believed that there are seven colours in the rainbow since Newton told us it was the case. In this workshop students are asked to explore the concept of colour with lights, coloured objects, prisms and filters then apply this understanding to create a trick card to take home.
