Ask the children to think about what colour they believe light to be. Show them the pieces of coloured paper stuck around the classroom, and ask them to go to stand under or next to the one that is the colour of light. Tell them you will come back to this question at the end to see if their thoughts have changed.Give the children a torch, a prism and a piece of white card and ask them to prove what colour light is.They should see the light ray split into the colours of the spectrum.
