Moving Up with Science

Let's illuminate the mystery of light. In this engaging book, readers will learn what stars are made of, how shadows form, and why a mirror reflects an image. Radiant photographs of natural and electric light reinforce the lessons of each chapter. Suggested experiments are included for children to try at home to help them observe firsthand how light moves, or how they can use shadows to tell the time. Question-and-answer sections and an in-depth glossary won't leave students in the dark on this essential elementary science topic. NSTA Recommends -- "Light is 'Easy to read and understand, gives a lot of good information' (5th grade student) … Light would be a good addition to the elementary classroom library and fits in well with a unit on astronomy or as an extension to studying electricity. The book has interesting comparisons to help the reader visualize the somewhat abstract concept of light".
