Perché il sangue è rosso? perché le carote sono arancioni? chi ha inventato la lampadina? perché il mondo sta "diventando verde"? il cielo è davvero blu? e cos'è la luce ultravioletta? scoprirai le risposte a queste domande, e a molte altre, in questa incredibile raccolta di fatti scientifici sui colori. Parleremo di luce (la cosa più importante) e onde (non quelle che vedi in spiaggia, anche se imparerai perché il mare sembra blu.). Scoprirai come alcuni animali sono in grado di brillare al buio e come altri cambiano colore per nascondersi dai predatori. Continua a leggere per scoprire perché le foglie cambiano colore in autunno, perché le tue vene sembrano blu ma il tuo sangue è rosso e perché il linguaggio che usiamo modella i colori che vediamo.. E imparerai esattamente come creare un arcobaleno, nello spazio.
