Rainbows are fantastic displays in the sky. Aspiring scientists might spot one after a rain shower and wonder about the science that has made it form. This exciting title explains these important concepts and allows students to understand them firsthand through their own hands-on experiments! First students learn about key ideas of light and color with age-appropriate text that explains the color spectrum and reflections. Then explanatory text breaks down the scientific method that students use for their experiments. Each of the 11 activities features compelling illustrations that complement the step-by-step instructions. STEM concepts for each experiment are also provided, in addition to an explanation of the science that makes each possible—from creating a two-way mirror to trapping light! A vocabulary-enhancing glossary and a section with resources for further information make this title a beneficial addition to any STEM curriculum.

      Gr 4-8-A STEM series that combines topics with activities. A table of contents shows each section is about two pages long. Color blocked pages with text that corresponds with depictions relevant topic. "Think about Scientist" sections show how information should be combined with experiments to understand a subject more deeply. Each title includes approximately a dozen projects, with detailed instructions and which STEM concepts are being used, including refraction lenses, and light waves in the "Fishbowl Lens" experiment. Each experiment has questions at the beginning, what materials are needed, tips, the science behind the experiment, and points of caution if applicable. Although some realistic photographs of the experiments and projects would have been helpful, the illustrations make the information and activity non-intimidating. Back matter includes a glossary, further resources, and index. VERDICT A supplemental STEM series that combines topic information with a hands-on experiment.
