  1. Interactive Notes: Why Is The Sky Blue? Do: Shined flashlight through clear water. See: Light cuts directly through. What’s Happening: Without an atmosphere the sky would be black and we’d be exposed to unfiltered sunlight. Read p. ¶ together

  2. Do: Added 2 drops of milk to the water. See: The light was not as intense and focused. Saw a tinge of blue. What’s Happening: The light starts to scatter as it collides with milk. Sunlight contains all colors. As it collides with nitrogen and oxygen, the blue in it (having the highest frequency) scatters out first. Read p. ¶ together

  3. Do: Added 10 more drops of milk to the water See: Light scatters more. What’s Happening: The milk thickens the water. The more it thickens the more the light scatters. After the blue scatters out, then red begins to.

  4. Do: Poured the rest of the milk in the water. See: The whole beaker glows. Orange is coming out of the light. What’s Happening: The water is so thick that light cannot pass directly through. The light appears to come from everywhere at once. The gray background is a photo of an overcast sky. Is the sun is behind these clouds or on the other side of the sky?

  5. Clean Up • Person 1 • Empty and rinse the large beaker. Fill it ¾ full again. • Person 2 • Pour 10ml of milk into small cup • Person 4 • Check-do your materials look just like they did at the beginning of class? • Person 3 • Count 4 new note sheets
