Renner Frankford Branch Library’s 30-minute program for ages 6–12 links a water-made rainbow with capillary action, the movement of water through tiny openings and porous materials.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
At November’s STEAM Lab, children can make a rainbow with water while exploring capillary action. The advertised activity gives the library program a specific science focus: how water moves through small gaps and porous materials.
The announced activity pairs making a rainbow with water and learning about capillary action. Water can travel through narrow openings and porous substances because of interactions within the liquid and between the liquid and a surface; cohesion, adhesion and surface tension all contribute. That offers a focused science idea within the broader STEAM label.
Dallas Public Library describes STEAM Lab as covering science, technology, engineering, art and math, and categorizes this session under Out-of-School Time/Summer Reading. For November, the listed activity centers on water movement rather than a sequence of separate topics.
The event description names the activity but does not give a step-by-step method or a materials list. It does not say what participants should bring.

The page lists September 16, October 21, November 18 and December 16, 2026, as STEAM Lab occurrences. The water-rainbow and capillary-action description is the activity announced for November 18; the listing does not confirm that the other dates use the same activity or establish a continuing schedule beyond those dates.

The November listing describes a water-based rainbow activity that introduces capillary action. That makes water movement the particular science thread in this session, within a program whose broader description includes science, technology, engineering, art and math.
The session runs from 3:30 to 4 p.m. in Renner-Frankford - Study Room A at Renner Frankford Branch Library, 6400 Frankford Road, Dallas, TX 75252.
Dallas Public Library says its programs are free and open to the public. The event listing does not say whether advance registration is required; contact the branch to check before visiting if registration affects your plans.
