Venerated as god and goddess, feared as demon and pestilence, trusted as battle omen, and used as a proving ground for optical theories, the rainbow's image is woven into the fabric of our past and present. From antiquity to the nineteenth century, the rainbow has played a vital role in both inspiring and testing new ideas about the physical world. Although scientists today understand the rainbow's underlying optics fairly well, its subtle variability in nature has yet to be fully explained. Throughout history the rainbow has been seen primarily as a symbol&—of peace, covenant, or divine sanction&—rather than as a natural phenomenon. Lee and Fraser discuss the role the rainbow has played...
As a string accidentally slips away from a young girls little hand, a balloon starts a journey to a far-a-way land. Flying high way up in the sky, it soon meets a rainbow with magic inside. As it flies through the rainbow the magic takes hold, the balloon starts to change and the story unfolds.
Foreword by Thomas Armstrong This book explores the multiple ways students process information and examines multiple intelligences through the relationship between rainbows, colors, and how individuals learn. If we consider the full range of human potential as the spectrum of the rainbow, then each individual is unique and has the potential to develop all of the intelligences using different areas of the brain. The author has included several lesson plans that can be adapted for students of any age, and has written them to meet U.S. and California standards. This book will be a valuable resource for educators and administrators, school boards, and parents.
Young children are naturally curious about the world around them. Tell Me Why I See Rainbows offers answers to their most compelling questions about rainbows. Age-appropriate explanations and appealing photos encourage readers to continue their quest for knowledge. Additional text features and search tools, including a glossary and an index, help students locate information and learn new words.
Have you ever wondered about the physics behind the beautiful arc of colors in the sky? Rainbow Facts explores the science of rainbows, delving into atmospheric optics and meteorological phenomena. Rainbows are created through refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light in water droplets, creating a vibrant spectrum. The book reveals that understanding these processes enhances appreciation for the natural world and the scientific principles that govern it. The book begins with the nature of light, explaining its behavior as both a wave and a particle, before delving into rainbow formation. It explains how sunlight interacts with raindrops, leading to the separation of light into its cons...
Presents scientific facts about rainbows and includes games, puzzles, crafts, recipes, and projects on a rainbow theme.
This is a book for all the children who love asking "Why?"—and all the parents who struggle to answer! Her daddy wiped his sweating head, she looked him in the eye. With growing passion in her voice, she asked intently, "Why?" Dad is quite confident in explaining how a rainbow is made to his curious daughter, but when she keeps repeating "why?" his explanation spirals deep into science-y lingo that has his brow sweating! How far will he have to go until he satisfies her curiosity? A science-y, rhymey guide to rainbows that even those with no scientific knowledge can enjoy. This fun, lively story is written by Dr. Billy Dunne and illustrated in brilliantly bright rainbow colors by Rhys Jefferys. A great gift for children and parents who are going through the "why" stage. This book presents a fun, tongue-in-cheek way to learn about the science of rainbows! Suitable for children aged 3 – 6 years old.
A scientific look at how rainbows are formed, why we can only see part of them, and how your location determines if you see one or not.
This book discusses the effects, modeling, latest results, and nanotechnology applications of rainbows that appear during channeling of charged particles in crystals and nanotubes. The authors begin with a brief review of the optical and particle rainbow effects followed by a detailed description of crystal rainbows, which appear in ion channeling in crystals, and their modeling using catastrophe theory. The effects of spatial and angular focusing of channeled ions are described, with special attention given to the applications of the former effect to subatomic microscopy. The results of a thorough study of the recent high-resolution channeling experiments performed with protons of energies ...
