03x13 - A Rainbow Every Day!

[bunniefuu]

Hey, scientists, it'’s me--

Sid. I want to know why you

Can'’t see a rainbow in the sky

Every day, so my friends and I

Are gonna investigate all the

Different ways to make rainbows!

Come explore with me, sid the

Science kid, coming up next.

Hey, is this thing on?

Heh heh!

♪ Hey, sid

What do you say?

What you want to learn today?

I want to know

Why things happen and how

And I want to know

Everything now

Oh, yeah

How does this thing work?

Why does that stuff change?

How does that do

What it just did?

Hmm.

What'’s up with the sky?

You think I could fly?

The world is spinning

And I want to know why

Sunny, it'’s sunny, it's sunny,

It'’s sunny! Yay! After two whole

Days of mom saying, "it'’s

Raining and you can'’t go out and

Play and get all wet and stuff,"

It finally stopped raining, and

Now it'’s sunny! Yay! Warm,

Wonderful sun--nothing better in

The whole wide world. Ahh. Ha

Ha. Oh! Oh, my gosh! It'’s a--a--

A rainbow! Mom! Dad! Mom, dad,

Mom, dad, mom, dad, zeke!

Oh, what is it, sweetie?

Is everything ok?

Look! Ha ha!

Um...look at what, sweetie?

Eh--wh--it'’s gone.

What'’s gone, sid?

The rainbow. My rainbow. The

Biggest, best rainbow ever in

The history of rainbows. It was

Right there.

Oh, we believe you, honey,

But rainbows don'’t stay in the

Sky forever.

That'’s right, sid. They come

And go.

Hmm. Ok, ok. Well, then, I'’ll

Just wait for another rainbow

Tomorrow.

Well, there might be one, but

Rainbows don'’t happen every day.

That'’s right. Come on, kiddo,

It'’s time for breakfast.

Hmm. Rainbows don'’t happen

Every day? But they'’re so

Beautiful, with so many colors

And--and--well, I just got to

Know. Why can'’t I see a rainbow

Every day?

["Day" echoes]

Sid, come on in!

Oh, right. Ha. Breakfast

Time! The rainbow had so many

Colors, and they were so bright.

What colors did you see?

There was red and yellow and,

Um, I forgot.

Ha. I know a way to find out.

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm. Let'’s go investigate

On the computer.

Great idea, mom.

Mm-hmm. Let'’s see. Rainbows.

Um...ok. Here we go.

Yeah, that'’s what it looked

Like.

Ha ha. What colors do you

See?

Red and yellow and blue and

Orange and green and a couple of

Others. Hmm. But I still don'’t

See why I can'’t see a rainbow

Every single day.

Hmm.

Sid, can you remember what

Was happening just before you

Saw the rainbow?

Oh, sure. It was raining, and

Then the sun came out.

Uh-huh.

Um...hey. Maybe the rain and

Sun have something to do with

Making rainbows.

Hey, I think you are onto

Something.

Yeah, and after breakfast,

I'’m gonna investigate rainbows

Ah! I saw it, too!

Oh, you did? There were so

Many colors!

Yeah, red and green and blue!

It was huge.

And then I went in to get

Ready for school, and when I

Came out, the rainbow was gone.

Gone. Yeah. That'’s what

Happened to me. It was there,

What are you guys talking about?

Ha!

What are you guys talking

About?

Well, we'’re talking about the

Colors we saw in the sky this

Morning, '’cause we saw a

Rainbow.

Oh.

What did the rainbow look

Like?

It was big.

With lots and lots of colors.

Oh, how many colors? ? ?

? ? Ha!

Uh, I'’m not sure.

Well, here'’s a picture of a

Rainbow, and I'’ll put it up, and

Then we can count the colors.

Ok.

Cool.

, , , , , , !

Right. A rainbow has

Colors, all the colors found in

Light. Can you name them?

Red.

Orange.

Yellow.

Green.

Blue.

Uh, I'’m not sure.

Me neither.

Oh, that'’s ok. These last two

Colors are called indigo and

Violet.

Indigo?

Indigo is kind of blue-ishy.

And violet looks sort of

Purple-ish.

Right. Rainbows always have

These colors, and they'’re

Always in this same order.

Wow.

Same order.

Let'’s say them together.

Red, orange, yellow, green,

Blue, indigo, and violet.

There are lots of colors.

Maybe that'’s why it's so hard to

Make a rainbow every single day.

Well, it does take special

Conditions to make a rainbow.

What kinds of things do you

Think have to happen for there

To be a rainbow in the sky?

You need rain to have a

Rainbow.

Oh! Oh, hey! Um, that must be

Why they call it a rainbow.

Ha ha!

Yeah!

And what do you need besides

Rain?

Well, it was sunny this

Morning, so maybe you need sun,

Too.

But first you need the rain.

Oh, and when the sun comes

Out, you get...

A rainbow!

Good. Sometimes we see a

Rainbow after it rains and the

Sun comes out. But only if the

Sunlight can pass through the

Water drops in the air.

Well, what do the water drops

Do?

Good question, gabriela. The

Water drops break up the light

So we see all colors in a

Rainbow.

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

That doesn'’t happen every

Day.

Maybe we could paint a

Rainbow in the sky.

Yeah!

Oh, that would be fun, but

Even though we can'’t paint a

Rainbow in the sky, we can make

Rainbow colors the same way

Scientists do. Let'’s go

Investigate in the...

Super fab lab!

Yeah, so grab your journals!

Let'’s go outside!

Yeah!

Outside!

Outside! Ha!

Hee hee.

It'’s the super fab lab.

Outside!

Yeah.

Observe, compare, contrast!

Ah!

Hey, hey, susie, what'’s in

That box? Is it the thing that

Scientists use to make rainbows?

It sure is. It'’s a called a

Prism.

Ooh!

Yeah, it shows us all the

Different colors in the light

Just like a rainbow does, and

The colors are in the same order

As a real rainbow.

Wow, a prism.

It looks smooth.

Yeah, it'’s clear, and it

Looks like it'’s made of glass.

Great observations. A prism

Is smooth and clear, and many

Prisms are made of glass.

So--so how does this

Rainbow-maker prism thingy work?

Well, I have a prism here for

Each of you, and your job is to

Investigate and discover how to

Make the prism work. Sound good?

Yeah, sure!

Hey, you'’re a scientist. You

Can try this, too.

Ok, scientists, let'’s

Investigate how to use a prism.

First try holding it, then

Making some observations. You

Can see through it. The ends are

Shaped like a triangle, and the

Sides are smooth and straight.

What happens when you hold your

Prism in the sunlight? Keep

Moving it around.

Hey, you made a rainbow. The

Sunlight passing through the

Prism is just like sunlight

Passing through droplets of

Water--they both make rainbow

Colors. When sunlight passes

Through the prism, you can make

A rainbow almost anywhere. You

Made a rainbow on your

Hands, on the table, and on your

Hands again. Where else can you

Make a rainbow?

You made one on the floor.

And there'’s a rainbow on the

Ceiling. All rainbows have the

Same colors, and they'’re always

In the same order. Can you draw

The colors of the rainbow?

Violet, indigo, blue...green...

Yellow...

Orange...and red.

Great job, scientists. Oh,

Beautiful drawing, may.

Oh, thank you.

You all did a great job

Investigating with your prisms.

Thanks.

Gabriela, may we take a look

At your journal?

Ok. It was kind of hard to

Make the prism work, but I

Finally figured out that the

Sunlight had to shine through

The prism, and then it made all

The colors of the rainbow. Look!

Wow, gabriela, your rainbow

Looks great! Very pretty.

Thank you.

It sure does. And now it'’s

Time for all my rainbow experts

To go and play with your new

Ideas!

Yay!

Have fun.

Ooh, yeah!

It'’s time to play "guess

Who'’s describing a rainbow."

Yay!

Playing today is our good

Friend may!

Ha.

Yay, may!

Ok, I'’ll go first. It's red,

It'’s a truck, it puts out fires,

And it sounds like this.

[Imitates siren]

Ha ha! Well, may, is that a

Rainbow?

No. That'’s a fire truck.

Oh, she'’s good.

Ha ha!

My turn. Um, it'’s green, it

Jumps, it lives in ponds, and it

Goes ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

Ha ha!

Ok, may, is that a rainbow?

No! That'’s a frog!

You'’re right!

Yay!

Um, after it rains and the

Sun comes out, you can see it in

The sky, and it has lots of

Colors, and it'’s beautiful,

And it'’s--

It'’s a rainbow! Sid is the

One describing a rainbow!

Ding, ding, ding! You'’re

Right. He is!

I get out my camera and take a

Wow! I bet you have, like, a

Oh, I sure do. Let me tell

You about the most amazing

Rainbow I'’ve ever seen. One time

I was riding in a plane flying

High above the clouds. The

Bright sun was shining up above

Me, and it was raining down

Below me, and when I looked out

The airplane window, I saw

Something I couldn'’t believe. I

Saw a rainbow that was a full

Circle.

A full circle?

Yes! You see, up in the sky

Between the sun and the rain

Where there'’s no ground to get

In the way, that'’s the only

Place you can see a full circle

Rainbow. It'’s a real sight to

See. I took a picture, and it'’s

My favorite rainbow picture

Oh. Hey, sid. How was your

Day?

Oh, it was great. Today I

Found out why we can'’t have

Rainbows in the sky every single

Day.

Oh, you did?

Yup. You see, everything'’s

Got to be just right. First you

Got to have rain, and then when

The sun comes out and the light

Goes through the water from the

Rain...

Yeah?

Out.

Real rainbow, but my dad made it

For me, and I think it'’s the

Best rainbow ever. And I can see

It every day without waiting for

It to rain and the sun to come

Out. Still, it sure would be

Nice if I could make a real

Rainbow whenever I wanted.

Hmm. Ok, I'’ve got it. Here's my
