"In this book, early readers will learn why the sky looks blue. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage beginning readers as they learn about the visible light spectrum and how sunlight reacts with particles in the air to affect the sky's color. A picture diagram shows how light waves scatter when they reach Earth's atmosphere, while a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Children can learn more about the sky and Earth's...

Introduces readers to the science of light through humorous graphic-novel panels featuring vampires. Discusses how light works, its characteristics, and its many uses. Includes a glossary, further resources, and an index.

Explains what reflections are and how we can use them and contains six activities to further the reader's understanding.

Introduces the study of light and vision and the steps in the scientific method and outlines simple experiments that demonstrate the basic principles of refraction, binary vision, and color, and how scientists work.

"Kids love looking at themselves in mirrors, but how can some surfaces produce such clear reflections, when many others offer no reflection at all? In this book, early readers will be introduced to the concept that light is comprised of waves and that colors are the result of certain wavelengths being absorbed or reflected"--Provided by the publisher.

Presenting experiments in a step-by-step format, this book provides young scientists with an introduction to the power and versatility of light.

"A rainbow is just one example of light in action! Light is a fundamental component of life on Earth, but how does it work? Light is unique in physical science because it doesn't completely conform to either a wave model nor a particle model. In this text, readers will discover that light is a form of energy. Readers will also learn aspects of light such as reflection and refraction. This challenging physical science concept is made easier to understand...

Explores some of the science behind color and light, discussing how light influences color.

Flick the switch, and you have light. Go outside during the day, and you see sunlight. Text and photographs explain how living things use light, and how light travels and what happens when it is dark.
