EveryDay Science: Light and Color Part 14
Brian and the team play with solar powered grasshoppers and begin to explore colors of light that are beyond the rainbow.
EveryDay Science: Light and Color Part 13
Brian and the crew focus a beam of light and use it to pop a balloon!
EveryDay Science: Light and Color Part 12
Bees can see beyond the rainbow in the ultraviolet light. We explore the wonderful world of patterns on flowers that are made just for bees!
EveryDay Science: Light and Color Part 11
What color is the sky? Brian and the crew debate the finer points of scattering, color addition and subtraction to explore this question.
EveryDay Science: Light and Color Part 10
Our intrepid scientists explore a world without red. It turns out bees don’t see red very well, and in this aspect “being a bee doesn’t sound very fun.”
EveryDay Science: Light and Color Part 9
Brian, Hailey and Finley remove colors form the rainbow one by one to see what’s left! Subtractive color mixing for the win.
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 8
Brian, Finley and Hailey discover the secondary colors by mixing the primary colors together.
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 7
Brian, Hailey and Finley take the rainbow apart and put it back together!
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 6
Brian, Hailey and Finley use a diffraction grating to split white light. They see the 3 primary colors of light: red, green and blue.
EveryDay Science: Light and Color — Part 5
Some of nature’s brightest colors come from the wave nature of light! The coloring of certain a male mallard duck’s head comes the interaction of light with thin layers of melanin and keratin.
