Real-world STEAM Connection and Problem definition


Have you ever seen a rainbow and wondered where its colours come from? In everyday life, children often notice rainbows after rain, but the reason behind them is not obvious. In this activity, students face the challenge of discovering how light and water work together to create a rainbow. Through experiments, observation, and discussion, they explore questions such as: What happens to light when it passes through water? Why do colours appear? What conditions are needed to see a rainbow? By experimenting, making mistakes, and trying again, students experience how scientists explore the world—showing that science is not magic, but curiosity, careful observation, and thinking step by step.
