Rainbow Bridge
Hello adventurers! Are you ready for a magical experiment? You will create a real rainbow using a piece of kitchen paper and two glasses of water. Don't believe it? Just wait and see!
What you'll need
- Kitchen paper
- Colorful felt-tip pens
- 2 glasses of water
How it works
-
Take a piece of kitchen paper and cut it so that it fits perfectly between your two glasses of water.
-
Now grab your colored pens and turn the ends of the kitchen paper into a small rainbow. The last 2 cm on both sides should be enough.
-
Place the painted ends into the glasses of water. The kitchen paper should lie like a small bridge between the two glasses.
-
Now comes the exciting part! Watch as the water slowly climbs up the kitchen paper and carries the colors with it. They meet in the middle and tada! A magical rainbow has grown!
