Rainbows | Physics Research Project Template | Digital + Print

Turn rainbows into rigorous, eye catching science with this ready to use research project template for middle school and high school. Students write a clear one paragraph summary, they could tackle real calculations and graphs in the mathematics connection using angle of deviation, Snell’s law, and wavelength relationships, and they might link ideas to the engineering or technological connection through optics in cameras, fiber optics, spectrometers, and atmospheric sensing. A five term glossary secures precise vocabulary for refraction, reflection, supernumerary rainbows, prisms, and Alexander's band. Three challenging inquiry questions drive evidence based reasoning, with two extra sets of three questions included, an easier set for younger learners and a more challenging set for older students, so you can switch as needed for seamless differentiation. A creative item space invites ray diagrams, prism studies, photo analyses, or data visuals that explain primary and secondary bows and supernumerary arcs. Assessment is consistent with a 20 point rubric for self, peer, or teacher scoring, and supportive teacher guidance offers implementation tips, pacing ideas, and extensions, making this a practical, low prep purchase that delivers engaging, standards aligned learning on light and color.
