Colors of the Sun

We will learn that the visible spectrum is only a part of what our sun, a star, emits within the electro-magnetic spectrum. Students will also study how astronomers use special tools to learn more about objects that are far away, and observe how white light can be refracted to form a color spectrum that has a pattern.
