I spy a rainbow! But where do rainbows come from? How are they made? Rainbow Science celebrates everything rainbow, from the science of sunlight to the prism in raindrops to how our eyes see all the colours that make up a rainbow, in this colourful activity book.

Kids can be a rainbow scientist and learn how to search for rainbows, make their own rainbows with a hose, spin homemade colour wheels, blow multicoloured bubbles, make a kaleidoscope, and more. Simple materials lists and straightforward, age-appropriate experiment steps are accompanied by scientific explanations for each activity.

Engaging illustrations give easy-to-understand explanations about rainbow science and the maths and physics of light refraction. Tucked into the pocket on the inside front cover is a fun pair of wearable glasses so kids can see rainbows right before their eyes.

This book is a celebration of rainbows for kids who love science experiments, weather, and hands-on activities!
