Welcome to another edition of Science Sunday. Have you ever tried to see through an envelope to see exactly what’s inside? Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. Depending on the lighting, whether natural or artificial and how it’s focused, some objects can become transparent. With everyday things found in your home — a piece of paper, a couple of envelopes, a permanent black marker, and a paper towel roll — experiment with light yourself. What you can actually see will surprise you. Watch the full Science Sunday segment to learn more.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
