In this activity, we will introduce children to the colors of the sky. Children love to look at clouds. Here we will focus in on the sky in which clouds float. Children will learn why the sky has such a wide range of colors.

Students identify patterns and describe the relationship between chlorophyll concentration and incoming shortwave radiation.
