Companion summary

Have you ever noticed colours hiding inside a bubble or a puddle? Rainbows appear whenever sunlight travels through tiny water droplets in the air after rain. Light looks white, but it secretly holds seven colours — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When you finish, try holding a glass of water near a sunny window and watch what happens on the wall.

Look at the sky!
