Natural Discovery

This is a wonderful example. Children are able to explore and use equipment in the classroom how they see fit. On this day one child brought a small prism into the block area and accidentally(so I believe) set it in the sun. Soon there was a flurry of children gathered around explaining what they discovered. The experimented moving the prism around in the different sun spots until......

....they discovered it casts light and made a triangle.

One quick twist.........and.........

the discovery had been made...........a RAINBOW!
