Yesterday two of the Elementary kids made a top with the three primary colors of light to see how those colors combine to appear white.
Today we have a rare sunny day in February, and one of the kids noticed that the lid of Mr. Tom’s Yeti cast a rainbow on the table. So since we take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, we pulled out that same book and talked about how a prism bends light and separates it into its constituent color parts.
Fascination ensued.

Red, blue, and green are the primary colors of light. When they mix, white is perceived.
The learners found this experiment in a book, made the top (with a little lesson on what a “center of gravity” is and why it matters to a top), and we’re eager to try it out and show each other.

Many days we sing as we work. Sometimes it is many different songs. Sometimes it’s all together.
Doing multiples of four (she’s six), a report on gerbils (she’s ten), and adding multiple 6-digit numbers with the dot game (they’re six and seven, respectively).
Later in the morning these learners moved on to a report on geckos, animal tracks matching flash cards, and a different advanced addition work, respectively.
Meantime, another learner in another part of the room (he’s nine) initiated a chemical experiment to test the reactions of different proportions of the constituent parts.
