📝 Quick summary of key information
Why can white light turn into lots of colors?
White light is all around us. We find it in the sun shining in the sky or in the light bulbs that light up our homes. It is made of all the colors that our eyes can see.
When white light goes through a prism, it turns into a rainbow. It's like it breaks into all its hidden colors. Isn't that a bit magical?
The colors we get are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It's like a painter's palette, but in the sky!
These colors are very important. They help flowers attract insects for pollination. They also help us recognize things around us, like red fruits or blue clothes.

The Rainbow Revealed
Why can white light turn into lots of colors?
The Discovery of the Magic Tunnel
After discovering why a bike doesn't move without pedaling, thanks to the force of friction (1) and air resistance explained by Isaac Newton, Noa and Nina had an unforgettable time with a gray cat named Archimedes. The curious and intelligent feline (2) watched Newton's experiments with them, adding a touch of magic to their learning. Soon after, while walking in Newton's Garden, Noa and Nina spotted a beam of light filtering through the leaves of the trees. Intrigued, they decided to follow the light beam, which led them straight to the magical Rainbow Light Tunnel.
Noa, amazed, shouts:
« Look, Nina! The light is changing color. »
Nina, amazed, shouts:
« It's magical! »
Noa, intrigued, asks:
« Yes, but how is this possible? »
Isaac Newton had followed them. He explained that white light is actually a mix of all the colors of the rainbow. He showed them an old engraved prism (3), which revealed a glowing map pointing to a hidden treasure in the book. The children, amazed, watched as the white light split into seven distinct colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Isaac Newton, with a shining smile, says:
« White light turns into a rainbow. »
Nina, amazed, says:
« Wow! But how can white light turn into all these colors? »
Isaac Newton, with a kind smile, explains to them:
« This is the phenomenon that creates rainbows when light passes through water droplets. »
Once Isaac Newton explained the phenomenon of light breaking apart (4), he shows them an old engraved prism. This prism, when light passes through it, reveals a glowing map pointing to a hidden treasure in the book.
The Mystery of the Glowing Treasure
Noa and Nina carefully looked at the glowing map. They saw bright lines and sparkling dots. They followed the map's directions. They walked through glowing hallways and rooms full of mirrors (5).
Noa, curious, asks then:
« Where are we going? »
Nina, her eyes shining with curiosity, whispers:
« I don't know. Let's follow the map. »
At every step, they found clues. The clues led them closer to the treasure. Isaac Newton explained that prisms and mirrors are used to change (6) light.
Isaac Newton, fascinated, tells them:
« White light turns into lots of colors. That's how rainbows are made. »
Noa, amazed, exclaims:
« It’s magical! »
Nina, amazed, says:
« Yes, it's amazing! »
After solving many light puzzles, they finally arrived in a room. A shiny chest was waiting for them. When they opened it, they found a treasure of knowledge about light and its properties (7). Noa and Nina left the magical Rainbow of Light Tunnel, amazed by what they had discovered. Isaac Newton then took them to the Experiment Room. They played with mirrors and colored bottles, watching dancing shapes appear around them. They learned that light is more than just a beam: it is the key to seeing and understanding the world around them. Their adventure ended with a promise: to discover even more mysteries hidden in Newton's Fabulous Book.
