Little minds are always curious to know answer for their questions.The most common question would be why the sky is blue or orange or red or grey?
To explain these you just need four things.
1.Plain -2 litre bottle
2.Water
3.Torch/flashlight
4.Milk
What you have to do?
Ask the child to fill the 3/4 the of water bottle with water.Then prop up torch on the bottle.
You add a spoon of milk and shake the bottle.Keep on adding milk till you could figure out a blue light that is scattered to child’s eyes from the milk.
Once child see the blue light, add more milk to the mixture until the child see more of an orange or red light.
Explanation
The sunlight may appear white but is combination of several colours like rainbow.When you look up into the sky, you are actually looking through the Earth’s atmosphere (I used globe ).Sunlight(torch) reaches Earth’s atmosphere and is scattered in all directions.
Blue light is scattered in all directions than any other colours ,thats the reason most of the time sky appears to be blue.During sunrise and sunset,more scattering takes place due to the angle of the sun.Thats the reason our sunrise and sunset looks more colourful☺
I explained to my child by doing pictorial presentation as it helped me to convey it in better way.
