Want to know why the sky is blue during the daytime and red during the evening and morning? A simple experiment is all that is needed. The ingredients required for the experiment are simply hydrochloric acid solution, sodium thiosulphate, a torch which produces white light, water and a few beakers and tubes.

The principle behind this experiment is simply the way in which light is scattered by the constituent particles of the mixture.
