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

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

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

Red and yellow and blue and
Orange and green and a couple of

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.

Making rainbows.

Hey, what'’s going on? Huh?
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!

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

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...

Best rainbow ever. And I can see
It every day without waiting for
It to rain and the sun to come

Nice if I could make a real
Rainbow whenever I wanted.

Everyone in your whole
Neighborhood can see and
Everyone in the whole country

Rainbow colors so big that it
Will stretch around the whole

Yeah. No. It was this big.
No, no. It was this big!
No, no. It was from here all
The way to here!
Yeah, it was this big, and
Then--and then--
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,
And then it was gone.
Gone. I wonder where the
Rainbow went.

Hey, what'’s going on? Huh?
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!
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,

About your day.
We learned all about what
Makes a rainbow.
Ooh, I love rainbows. And
Here'’s something you might not
Know. Whenever I see a rainbow,
I get out my camera and take a
Picture of it.
Wow! I bet you have, like, a
Gazillion pictures of rainbows.
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
Of all. Woo-hoo! It'’s a beauty!
I never knew there could be a
Full circle rainbow.
Oh, yeah. I only saw it once,
But it can happen.

Hi, dad. Hi, dad! Hi, dad! Hi,
Dad!
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?
That makes a rainbow.
Well, I'’m glad you figured it
Out.
Yeah, uh-huh. But I still
Wish I could see a rainbow every
Single day.
Yeah. Well, maybe you can!
Ha ha!
Hey! Dad, that'’s amazing!
Yeah. It'’s for you. I'm
Almost done painting it.
I have...
Red, orange, yellow, green,
Blue, indigo...
And I'’m just missing one
Color. Gosh, what was that one?
Uh...it'’s kind of purple-
Looking...
Oh, I know. It'’s violet.
You'’re right!
Ha ha!
Hey, why don'’t you paint it
On?
Ooh. Ok.
There you go. All right. Nice
And gentle. Not too much paint.
Ok. That looks great, sid.
Thanks, dad.
You know what? I'’m gonna put
It in your room, and then you'’ll
Be able to see a rainbow...
Every single day!
Huh. Ahh, yeah. Hmm.
Perfect. Well, it may not be a
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
Super duper ooper schmooper big
Idea. I'’m going to invent my
Very own super jumbo power
Prism, the world'’s biggest
Prism. It'’s just like the prism
We used in school but bigger.
Bigger than a house, bigger than
A skyscraper, bigger than two
Skyscrapers. It'’ll be so big,
You can make rainbow colors that
Everyone in your whole
Neighborhood can see and
Everyone in the whole country
Can see. Actually, the super
Jumbo power prism will make
Rainbow colors so big that it
Will stretch around the whole
World. Everyone on earth will
Stop, look up at the sky, and
Say, "wow, those are the most
Amazing, biggest, most colorful
Rainbow colors I'’ve ever seen."
All thanks to my super jumbo
Power prism!
