Our fourth graders have been exploring light waves 🌈 in the STEM Studio and recently put their learning into action with a colored light mixing lab! 🔴🟢🔵
Students investigated what happens when different colors of light overlap and experimented with creating new colors using red, green, and blue light. 🔦
🔬 Science connection: Unlike mixing paints and pigments, which absorb certain wavelengths of light, mixing colored light is additive—when different wavelengths of light combine, they can produce new colors, including white light!
Our Jung scientists were busy observing, predicting, experimenting, and making connections between what they see and how light behaves.
Happy National Principal's Month to the best! Thank you for all you do for our school, Mrs. Fowler! We appreciate you! 💙
Reminder‼️ Friday, October 2 🗓️ is a scheduled staff development day. There will be no school for students. We will see you back on Monday, October 5th.
