Sun and Sky Chemistry

We can’t see the air around us, but without it we wouldn’t have a blue sky. 

Learn why the sky is blue, how the sun affects our atmosphere,

and put your favorite sunscreen to the test.

These girls are looking at UV-beads, which change color depending on the wavelength of the light they are exposed to. (Don’t worry, you will still get to do this experiment in October!)
