Title- Rainbow Wonderful: Enjoy learning about rainbows. Ombre background from soft red to light purple. Rainbow in the foreground between white clouds.
Stepping beyond visible light there is the opportunity to explore the universe through spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectra. Come explore the Science of on the Sphere at the Natural History Museum.

We have reached the end of the #Rainbow and today’s colour is #Violet. The shortest wavelength on the visual spectrum. Come explore the #MNH #NovaScotia #Museum #NaturalHistory #RainbowWonderful #Violet
Text: Blue in Nature. Structural Colour. Some animals appear as a certain colour because of external structures in their feathers, shells, or scales. An image of a Banded Purple Wing Butterfly, A Blue Jay and a diagram indicating how blue light reflects off a feather into an eye.
For #Animals and #Insects displaying blue is a structural-engineering evolution. The #BandedPurpleWingButterfly and #BlueJays manipulate the structural layers of their scales/ feathers to scatter blue light back to our eyes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g24...

NOAA dataset: Vegetation- Real- Time. An image capturing the changes to vegetation over time. NOAA dataset: Biosphere: Marine Chlorophyll Concentration. Greener water is abundance with Chlorophyll, bluer water indicates less. Red patches indicate an abundance of life caused by run-off.
#Photosynthesis transforms the light energy from the #Sun into vital sugars all planets use as fuel to grow. Come explore the #NaturalHistory #Musuem and see #ScienceOnASphere and learn about #NOAA datasets. Marvel at watching photosynthesis in real time.

Text: Carotenoid Pigments. Left image of a Daylily. Right image is a sliced Orange resting on oranges. Bottom image is a bushel of carrots.
Plants, like #Daylilies, #Oranges, and #Carrots make great advantage of the #carotenoidpigments within their cells to increase the absorption of light energy for the purpose of #photosynthesis.

Cloud Finder activity sheet. Large blue rectangle to be cut out. Six examples of cloud types: Cirrus, Altostratus, Cumulus, Altocumulus, Nimbostratus, Cumulonimbus.
Grey and stormy Cumulonimbus cloud in the distance. Rainbow arch in front of stormy clouds.
Create your own #Cloudsfinder. Try identifying the clouds you see. #Cumulus clouds, are good weather days. Wispy #Cirrus clouds are seen of sunny days. Full grey sky #Nimbostratus clouds mean all day rain clouds. While #Cumulonimbus clouds are warning of a coming thunderstorm. #RainbowWonderful
