Science Behind Rainbows Rainbows form when sunlight passes through raindrops in the sky. This process involves three key steps:  Refraction: When sunlight enters a raindrop, it slows down and bends. This bending of light is called refraction.  Different colors of...

Formation Of A Raindrop The journey of a raindrop begins with a process called evaporation Evaporation: The sun heats up water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and plants. This heat causes the water to change from a liquid to a gas called water vapor, which rises into the...

Science Behind Flight of Birds Birds flying in the sky might seem like magic, but it’s actually all about science!  Wings and Lift: Birds have specially shaped wings that create lift, which helps them rise into the air.  When air flows over and under the wings, it...
