00:01 The experiments you will see
00:02 have been carefully done by professionals,
00:04 and should not be tried at home without parental guidance.
00:06 Please follow the caution signs throughout this program.
00:33 Welcome to Creation is Science
00:35 where we can learn about our awesome God
00:38 through exploration and science.
00:40 Are you ready? Yes.
00:41 I'm excited, and we have Professor Roy here,
00:45 and we have Hannah, Nathan, Iannah,
00:50 and Amanda and I'm excited.
00:53 I thought I'm a little bit confused here,
00:55 but I thought we were doing something about rainbows,
00:59 but I don't know,
01:00 can you teach me something here?
01:01 Well, you know, I think so.
01:03 Have you ever seen a rainbow?
01:04 Yeah. Okay.
01:06 Have you ever seen a rainbow when it wasn't raining?
01:07 Yeah. No.
01:09 You know, that can happen sometimes, can it?
01:12 But there's gotta be something in the air.
01:14 What has to be in the air? Color.
01:17 Color, color is in the air
01:18 because rainbow gives us a color,
01:19 but we have to have what else?
01:21 We've got to have water in the air.
01:23 Droplets I think so, yeah. That's exactly right.
01:26 Now, let's see what we're going to do here.
01:28 What I have is I have a little pencil.
01:29 I'll put my pencil in the water.
01:31 Okay, like that. Okay.
01:32 And if you can look at it
01:34 from an angle from maybe where you are?
01:36 Okay.
01:37 And does it look like the pencil is broken?
01:39 Yeah.
01:41 Or maybe the pencil is bent in some way?
01:43 Yeah. Okay. But you know what?
01:44 The pencil is not broken and the pencil is not bent.
01:46 It's straight, isn't it?
01:48 But when we put it in the water,
01:49 what does the water do to the pencil?
01:53 It refracts. Yeah, it refracts it.
01:57 Okay, it's right. It bends the light.
01:58 So the light is being bent by the water.
02:00 And that's why we see a rainbow because the rainbow,
02:03 the water that's in the rainbow is refracting.
02:06 It's bending the light.
02:08 Now, but why, how did colors come from light anyways?
02:13 It comes from the bending of light
02:16 that the water does.
02:18 Now, I've got something right here.
02:19 Now this is a magnet.
02:21 I can put it on my table, but what color is that?
02:24 Red. It's red, okay.
02:26 Now why do we call it red? Because it's red in color.
02:29 Did somebody train us?
02:31 Did somebody train you the,
02:33 and said, now that color is red, right?
02:35 Did anybody teach you that? Yes.
02:37 That's right, we were taught our colors, right?
02:39 Just like we're taught our multiplication tables
02:41 and the alphabet, we were taught our colors.
02:44 Well, that is red,
02:46 but you know, I don't know what color it really is.
02:48 Do you know that?
02:50 I don't know what color that really is.
02:52 All I know is this, that when you and I,
02:54 when we look at that,
02:56 all I'm seeing is the wavelengths
03:00 of red color coming back and hitting me in the eye.
03:04 That's all I'm seeing, ain't that cool?
03:05 Yeah.
03:06 So I don't know exactly what colors will make.
03:09 Just the red frequency,
03:10 bounce off of it and hit me in the eye.
03:12 But I love color.
03:14 And that's what happens to all of our colors.
03:16 And that's what we're going to do outside.
03:18 We're going to try to make a, uh, a rainbow.
03:21 It may be in a couple of different ways
03:23 and see the refraction.
03:24 And maybe even the reflection
03:26 of light through water particles.
03:29 You ready?
03:30 Are you ready out there? Let's go.
03:33 Come, follow me. Let's go.
03:36 Have you ever looked at yourself?
03:38 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
03:40 What do we usually use in order to look at ourselves?
03:42 What do we use? A mirror.
03:43 We use a mirror, can't we?
03:45 Okay. Or maybe a camera, right?
03:46 You can take a picture of yourself or maybe do a,
03:48 what do they call it?
03:49 A selfie. That's interesting, isn't it?
03:52 Well, I have some very interesting mirrors.
03:54 In fact, this mirror right here.
03:56 If we look at this surface right here,
03:58 it's very, very flat.
03:59 You put your hands, right? Can you feel how flat it is?
04:02 It's very, very flat,
04:03 but if you turn the mirror over,
04:05 it has another mirror.
04:07 Now feel the mirror, is it concave?
04:10 Yeah. It's concave.
04:11 And this one right here is even more concave.
04:14 In fact, it looks like a bowl. Look, it's all dished in.
04:18 When you look at yourself
04:20 with a mirror that happens to be flat, okay.
04:23 And then if you look at yourself
04:25 with a mirror that happens to be what?
04:28 Concave.
04:29 So here, so take this mirror, look at yourself.
04:31 Okay.
04:33 And then turn it over and look at yourself
04:35 and see how you would look.
04:37 If you used a concave mirror, what happens to your face?
04:42 Did you see yourself? Did it get bigger?
04:43 Bigger and smaller.
04:45 Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's right.
04:46 So it changes your image.
04:48 So a mirror then reflects your image, doesn't it?
04:52 It reflects our image. That's interesting.
04:54 You know, as Christians,
04:55 are we supposed to reflect something?
04:57 Yes.
04:58 What are we supposed to reflect?
04:59 God's love. God's love.
05:01 Hey, that's cool, isn't it?
05:02 But you know, we can do, we can reflect the sunlight.
05:06 Now, would that be cool to reflect the sunlight?
05:07 Yes.
05:09 It really would,
05:10 so we've got another experiment here.
05:11 Come on over here. Let's see what we got.
05:13 Now stand, stand right here, stand right over here.
05:16 Now what I have is I've got, whoa, man, what?
05:19 Wow. Did you see?
05:20 Oh man, I've got what's happening too?
05:22 What's happening? Is it, are you getting shine?
05:25 Yeah.
05:26 So what's happening is
05:27 we're reflecting the sunlight.
05:29 Yeah.
05:31 We're reflecting the sunlight with a mirror.
05:33 Okay.
05:34 And the sun hits the mirror
05:36 and when the sun hits the mirror,
05:38 it reflects, okay, the sunlight back.
05:41 Well, what we're going to do
05:42 is we're going to try
05:43 to get the image to change colors.
05:46 Would that be cool? Yeah.
05:48 Okay. Have you ever seen a rainbow?
05:50 Yeah. Okay.
05:51 Can you, uh, what are all the colors
05:52 of the rainbow are there?
05:54 Can you mention some of them?
05:55 Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
05:57 Yeah.
05:58 All of those colors, which is interesting.
06:00 And all of them have the right way to go
06:03 because they're always lined up in the same order.
06:06 Now, that's interesting.
06:08 What I'm going to do
06:09 is I'm going to put this down in the water.
06:10 Okay.
06:12 And what's going to happen is the sunlight
06:13 is going to reflect off of the mirror
06:16 and then the water is going to bend
06:18 or, uh, refract the light.
06:22 And it's going to break up the white light into colors
06:24 because you know
06:26 what colors come from white light?
06:27 Did you know that?
06:28 Do you know where all the colors come from?
06:30 No.
06:31 They come from white light
06:32 and our sun happens to give us white light.
06:35 So let's see what we can do right here.
06:36 Now, let's see.
06:38 Can you, why don't you stand right there and turn,
06:40 okay, and turn around.
06:41 Well, okay. You can stand right there.
06:42 What we're going to try to do. Okay.
06:44 Oh no, no, no. We want him right here.
06:46 I want him right in front of the mirror.
06:48 Oh! Right in front of the mirror.
06:49 What we've got and you might want to
06:51 close your eyes a little bit
06:52 'cause it was going to get kind of interesting.
06:54 Okay.
06:55 And what we're going to try to do
06:56 is we're going to try to get a rainbow to show...
06:59 Oh, wow. What!
07:01 On his clothes. Okay.
07:03 There you go.
07:05 Here, move that way just a little bit.
07:06 Okay. Well, right there. Wow!
07:10 So, we've got some rainbow colors
07:12 on his lab coat.
07:15 Where did those colors coming from?
07:17 Sunlight and the water.
07:19 They're coming from the sunlight.
07:20 The sun has all of the colors in it.
07:23 Here, why don't you change places, everybody.
07:25 We want everybody to have a turn
07:27 and see if we can get that light on there.
07:29 So move so that it's right. Okay.
07:31 Move over a little bit over this way.
07:33 Okay. All right, here we go.
07:35 All right. There we go.
07:36 Let's check this out. Wow.
07:38 That's pretty. Whoa.
07:40 Now, okay. Who else can we shine this on?
07:44 Okay. All right. There we go.
07:45 Let's see what we got. Wow.
07:47 See all those colors.
07:50 That's pretty cool, isn't it? You're ready?
07:53 Who hasn't got the rainbow on their coat?
07:56 Go ahead. Okay.
07:58 You moved out. You're gonna have to move.
07:59 Okay. There you go.
08:02 That's awesome. Is that interesting?
08:04 Yes. Now, okay.
08:05 Just stay. Just stay right there.
08:07 And everybody had a turn? Yeah.
08:08 You know, there was a man that lived a long time ago,
08:10 Sir Isaac Newton.
08:12 And Sir Isaac Newton,
08:14 he said that he thought that white light came from the sun.
08:18 A lot of people, they didn't know.
08:19 They didn't know
08:21 where the different colors came from.
08:22 He said, it's coming
08:23 from the sunlight, the white light.
08:25 So he did an experiment long time ago.
08:26 He put white light through a prism.
08:30 And the prism turned all of that
08:32 white light into the colors of the rainbow.
08:35 And people said, Oh wow, look at that.
08:37 He was right.
08:38 All the colors do come from the sun and white light.
08:42 And then, you know what he did?
08:44 He took all of those colors
08:46 and he put them all through a prism again.
08:49 And what do you think came out the other side?
08:50 Rainbow.
08:52 White light came out the other side.
08:54 How cool is that?
08:56 The rainbow was on him. That's right.
08:58 So he made a rainbow, didn't he?
08:59 Cool.
09:01 Now, if you have ever seen a rainbow,
09:02 in fact, you know what?
09:04 I think, uh, I think Aunt Francine, I think.
09:06 Oh, yeah.
09:07 She was going to try to make a rainbow
09:08 by using some water.
09:10 So here, let's check this out.
09:11 Let's see what she's gonna do.
09:13 She's got a garden hose over there.
09:15 Let's see what she's going to do with a garden hose.
09:17 Let's see if I can do it. Have you ever tried this?
09:19 No. I don't know.
09:22 Oh. Oh, you stand right where I am.
09:24 You can see it. Come over next to me.
09:27 I can see it. Can you see it? I don't know.
09:29 Yeah, there is a rainbow right here.
09:33 Wow! It's right there.
09:36 You see it? Yeah.
09:38 Right over here. Rainbow has to be just right.
09:40 It has to be just right. So come see it's over there.
09:43 It's still here. Let's bring it closer.
09:46 Oh, wow.
09:49 Let's take some time to try to do that, right?
09:53 That is kind of fun how we have time to do that.
09:56 So when you're in the sprinkler system,
09:58 have you ever tried to do that?
09:59 Have you ever tried to make a rainbow?
10:01 Yes. What does that remind me of?
10:03 God's promise.
10:05 God's promise says,
10:06 I'm going to say, go ahead and put off the water.
10:07 You're right. God's promise is for everyone.
10:10 And I love rainbows.
10:12 Now, God, I'm so thankful that
10:14 God didn't make this whole world just one color.
10:18 I am so glad that we have eyes that many of us,
10:21 most of us can see different colors.
10:23 What's your favorite color Iannah?
10:25 Red. What's your favorite color?
10:27 Purple. What? Purple.
10:29 Oh, I like that. How about you?
10:30 Aqua. Aqua.
10:32 Ooh. Now you're very specific.
10:33 How about you, Amanda?
10:35 Um, blue. Blue.
10:37 How about you, Abednego? Yellow.
10:39 Yellow, we all have different colors
10:41 and sometimes my favorite color
10:43 used to be pink when I was little.
10:45 And now my favorite color is maybe burgundy
10:47 and sometimes I like hunter green.
10:49 We all have different colors, but can you imagine
10:52 if the world was just all green?
10:54 No, God made our world in a beautiful way
10:58 because He made different colors,
11:00 and I'm so glad that
11:01 we have different colors of rainbows
11:04 and different things that
11:05 we can see because God made things so beautiful.
11:07 And even here, you know,
11:09 it makes me think of another song
11:11 that God said red or yellow, black or white, right?
11:14 We're all precious in whose sight?
11:16 His. Jesus. His sight.
11:18 Have any of you studied about how the,
11:21 um, clouds are formed up in the sky?
11:24 Yeah. Yeah.
11:25 They evaporate. How do they form?
11:27 Do you want to talk about that a little bit?
11:28 Well, I think there's droplets of rain in the air, right?
11:31 They're making little prisms right up in the sky.
11:34 So that's what's happening, whenever you see a rainbow,
11:36 like sometimes I've seen two rainbows
11:38 and one time I even got to see three rainbows.
11:40 Wow.
11:41 There was like one here,
11:43 one up this way and one up this way.
11:44 And it was just, but you know what?
11:47 Have you ever tried to take a picture of a rainbow?
11:49 Yeah. Does it work?
11:51 No, even these cameras,
11:53 they can't do the justice that we actually see.
11:56 And that's the same way.
11:57 Even when I'm snorkeling or scuba diving,
11:59 have any of you gone underwater
12:01 and looked with your lenses underwater?
12:02 Yeah.
12:04 Sometimes we can't see, it doesn't look as pretty
12:07 because of all the colors that God has created, right?
12:10 We want to see those colors.
12:11 And I'm so thankful that
12:13 God has given us so many different colors.
12:16 And so when you think about the rainbow,
12:19 hopefully you get to see rainbows.
12:21 Has it been a while since you've seen a rainbow?
12:22 Yes.
12:23 It reminds me of different things in the Bible.
12:25 What's a Bible story that you can think of a rainbow?
12:29 Noah's ark.
12:30 Noah's ark is a really good one.
12:32 And what was that promise again?
12:33 I know we talked about it before.
12:34 God will never forsake again.
12:36 I am so thankful that
12:37 God has given us so many promises
12:41 and that He shows His love through the rainbow.
12:44 I can't wait to see Jesus. How about you?
12:46 Yeah, you're ready to go inside
12:47 'cause I'm getting a little hot.
12:51 Oh, that was so wonderful. I love seeing rainbows.
12:55 How about you? You're excited?
12:57 Yeah. I have definitely been excited.
12:59 Now, I don't know about you.
13:01 That was pretty. That was pretty.
13:02 It was.
13:04 I liked remembering how God thinks
13:05 that we're so beautiful in His image
13:07 and those droplets.
13:09 I have something in my pocket. Oh, cool.
13:11 I think I thought of something here.
13:15 What'd you think of? I don't know.
13:17 I'm thinking, what do you see? Do you see a rainbow?
13:19 Yes. It's on the disc.
13:20 Pass it up.
13:22 How many of you if ever seen a CD or DVD disc like that?
13:25 Have you done that? Yes.
13:27 I have too.
13:28 I think it's kind of neat because we think about what?
13:31 Again, what do we think of? God's promise.
13:34 God's promise.
13:35 What was that promise again in the Bible?
13:37 Never flood the earth. To never flood the earth.
13:40 God's Word is always true. And I'm so thankful.
13:43 And I love seeing those rainbows
13:45 and those colors.
13:46 I like how you were talking
13:48 about these different colors that we see.
13:49 And I'm so thankful that God made wonderful,
13:53 different colors for us.
13:54 Aren't you? Yeah. Yeah.
13:56 So what's your favorite part of the rainbow?
13:59 The colors.
14:00 The colors, the variety of colors.
14:02 I wouldn't want everything to be the same.
14:04 No. We can see God's creation
14:07 all around us because creation is?
14:10 Science. Yay!
14:13 Bye!
