The science, gently
- A rainbow appears when sunlight bends and reflects inside millions of falling raindrops.
- The colors always keep the same order, red on the outside, violet within.
- No two people see exactly the same rainbow; yours is made of light aimed at your eyes alone.
Wonder together
- Where were you when you saw your best rainbow?
- If every raindrop bends light, why is the sky not always rainbowed?
- What color would you add to the seven?
Tonight's calm-down
All the colors are still in the dark of your room, waiting inside the light for morning. Nothing is missing, only resting. You can rest where the colors do.
Go further together
There's so much more to explore.
The episode is a whole story on its own. But if the wondering keeps going after the audio ends, the Family Guide opens this one all the way up: the same calm voice, turned into something you can do together at the table the next morning.
