What exactly makes a rainbow? Well, for starters, you need light. That is the  main ingredient of making a rainbow. Then you'll have to have a little water. I'm talking about the mini rainbows by the way, not those big ones across the sky. Although I'm pretty sure that they both use the same things. Anyway, rainbow making is super easy.

Since you now have your main things, you're going to have to figure out how to make the rainbow actually appear. Instead of a sprinkler rainbow, I'm going to tell you how to make a rainbow with a glass prism. So first off, get the glass prism, and go into a sunny spot where you feel like you can get a lot of light. Then get a clear, plastic cup and fill it with water. Place it on the ground in the middle of the sunny spot. Next, get your glass prism and maneuver your prism until you can see a faint rainbow in the shadow of the plastic cup. You will see that there are the seven colors of light. Now you accomplished your rainbow making!

So this time, we are going to use resources on why the sky is blue. As you've seen in my previous blog, my reasons were because of either absorption, reflection, or scattering. The answer was scattering. The sky is blue because the light scatters. Not just any light, it has to be blue light. The sky absorbs  the blue light wavelengths, and as they reach the top, they scatter around the sky. The blue colors of the sky are then reflected on the ocean, or the other way around. 

My resource was my science text book. It helped me mostly with the progress of why the sky was blue. It also helps me on other stuff, like tests, but that's another topic for later. In conclusion, the sky is blue because of it reflects the blue light and it scatters that light throughout the surface.

For the Zoo Project, Michelle, Danyeal, and I were assigned to do the Lady Ross Turaco, which is a type of bird. I had find out how the Turaco adapted to it's habitat. 

According to the resources I used, Lady Ross Turacos prefer to live in high trees, mainly canopies. They gather twigs to make their own nests. Also, they are extremely territorial, and will try to scare away other birds to warn them to get away from their nest. The only predators they have are blue monkeys or other animals that raid their nests. Lady Ross Turaco eat fruit, vegetables, and occasionally bugs. An interesting fact is that they disperse seeds, which came from the fruit they were eating. It's a bit gross, but it's just a way of their life. 

In my opinion, the greatest scientific history was when Charles Darwin discovered about evolution. Mostly because I was interested in animals, and during his process, he learned and observed the animals on their behavior, looks, and differences.

For example, when Charles Darwin went to Rio, he found out that the finches were a lot different than the ones he had experienced back at his home. I remember when one of the worksheets said that Charles noticed how the finches in Rio had longer beaks, and ate different food than the finches back where he lived. He took notes, and also took some evidence.

Then, after he traveled the world and collected many things, he went to his science laboratory, and then tested out his newly collected specimens. He made theories and ideas about how animals in nature work, which eventually led us to know how evolution progressed. I think that this is a very special science history moment, because if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have known which animals were
