   Can you think of any questions you have about the natural world? By trying to find the answers to your questions, you are acting like a scientist.

Why does the sky look blue on a sunny day? Sunlight is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo (靛蓝), and violet (紫色) light. The air is made up of many tiny bits (小块). Most colors in the light move directly through the air. The blue and indigo parts of the light bump into (碰撞) the bits of air. The light spreads out and makes the sky look blue. Light can make a glass of milk look blue, too.

Let’s Do It!

☆ Fill a glass partway (部分) with milk.

☆ In a dark room, shine a flashlight (手电筒) into the top of the glass of milk.

☆What happened? The glass looked blue because the bits that made up the milk took in (吸入) the red, orange, yellow, green, and violet colors but not the indigo and blue colors in the light. Instead the milk pushed the blue light to the sides.

Keep looking at the world like a scientist. Just start with a question and try to find the answer. You are sure to uncover lots of fun facts about the natural world. No matter what you want to find out next, remember to have fun. Learning about the natural world can be a lifelong (终生的) adventure.
