What makes a red thing red? I bet you have a guess. Now put it
to the test when we shine a high-powered laser on a red balloon.
Does it pop? Does a red object absorb red light? Does it reflect
red light? Does it do something different? See the results in
this science video that will challenge your expectations of
science videos. This video gets you involved by asking you to
make predictions and then, after you see the results, helps you
to sort out your thinking. Credit: National Science Foundation
