For example:
Did you know that leaves are like tiny mirrors? Leaves absorb some colors of light and reflect others. They take in red and blue light for energy but bounce back green light, which is why we see them as green!But here’s something even cooler: if you look at leaves with a special infrared camera, they shine bright like little stars! Scientists even use this trick to find plants from space!
The great Claude Monet, known for his paintings of gardens and water lilies, had a unique sense of color. After developing cataracts, he began to see more infrared light – just like scientists with their special cameras! This changed the way he painted green hues, making them even deeper and more surreal.
Did you know that Galileo Galilei didn’t just look at the stars but also studied plants? He was one of the first scientists to notice that leaves turn toward the light. This was an early observation of phototropism – the way plants "follow" the sun. Today, we know that this process is crucial for their survival!
