A rainbow of colors with prisms and pigments! This is one colorful episode as the Curious Crew investigates the science of the color spectrum. STEM Challenge: Colored Spinners Curious About ...

We have Sir Isaac Newton to thank for our understanding of the color spectrum. In the 17th century, he realized that when pure white light passes through a prism, it separates into seven visible ...

When sunlight passes through a prism or a raindrop, we see this spectrum in the form of a rainbow, containing red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
