A question for the whole room
One story to open. A room full of ideas to test.
Ready in three steps
- Open the story.Read and try the first pages together.
- Pause for a prediction.At the story’s question, read its choices aloud. Invite a vote and ask, “What makes you think that?”
- Run it. Watch. Wonder.Choose the class’s prediction, run the experiment, and compare what happened with your guesses.
Different guesses are welcome. The experiment gives everyone something to rethink.
Something to put on paper
A one-page prediction and observation sheet. No answers included.
After the experiment: discussion notes
Talk about what happened
- Predict first: sunlight looks white. Do you think it's just one color, or all the colors mixed? How could we find out?
- Predict first: at sunset the light crosses way more air to reach us. Which colors do you think survive that long trip, and which get bounced away?
- Violet light actually bounces even more than blue. So predict — why isn't the sky purple?
Where it shows up in real life
- A blue sky on a clear afternoon
- An orange and red sunset out the window
- A rainbow, where white sunlight splits into all its hidden colors
