Educator Resources for Color

What is color? And what is the electromagnetic spectrum, anyway? In this BrainPop movie, Tim and Moby help you understand how color comes about. You’ll learn about different types of radiation, like visible light, plus seven types of electromagnetic waves. Discover how these waves are organized and how they can carry different levels of energy. Find out about visible and invisible electromagnetic waves, white light, and how objects absorb different amounts of energy to give us the basic seven colors we can see. What’s your favorite color?
