A rainbow is caused by sunlight shining on raindrops.
To see a rainbow, you must have the sun behind you and rain falling in front of you. . When sunlight enters a raindrop, it divides into various color spectrums.
The rainbow reflects these colors, like a mirror. Many rays of sunlight, breaking up into their colors and reflecting off many drops of falling rain, make a shimmering, curved, colored rainbow. Experiment :Provide every group with a shallow container of milk. Place a couple of drops of different food coloring in the milk. Next, have a child dip a toothpick into a little dish soap and then dip it into the milk. What happens?
