Experiment: the colour of objects (4th Grade)

Hello everyone!

In our topic LIGHT, we are learning why the objects are the colour they are... Hum...strange question, isn't it? 

Look at the following diagrams:

Let's see the example of the ladybug: 

1. White light (made up of many colours) hits the ladybug 
2. The ladybug reflects only red light 
3. We see the ladybug RED.

But:

• Black objects absorb all the light.
• White objects reflect all the light.

EXPERIMENT:

1. Inflate different coloured balloons (black and white are necessary).

2. Explode the balloons with the sunlight and a magnifying class.

3. See which balloon is the first to explode and which the last.

(Thank you Anna for the experiment!!!)
