This week in science we were studying about light and more specifically the spectrum of light.
We used the pneumonic, Ring Out Your Great Bells In Victory, to help us remember the colours of the spectrum as these are the colours of the rainbow.
Ring = red
Out = orange
Your = yellow
Great = green
Bells = blue
In = indigo
Victory = violet

Firstly, we had to make a circle with 7 section for the 7 colours and colour these in, in the order of the colours of the rainbow.

Next, we had to cut out the circle, we glued two of them back to back but this part isn't necessary. Once glued we had to punch two holes close to the centre to allow a 60-90cm piece of string feed through.
The two end of the string are fed through each of the holes and then tied to form a loop. On your own, or with a partner (which is easier), twist the colour wheel as many times as you can to build up the speed for the spin!

Once you have the string twisted as many times as you can, simply pull your hands apart. this will cause the colour wheel to spin. What do you think happens? Watch the video below and see and check it out for yourself!
When the colour wheel spins, the colours start to blend together forming "White Light" and the colour wheel appears to turn a whitish colour.
