Experiments With Light

Make a camera from cardboard, create stereographic images, and start a campfire with ice! These amazing science projects use readily available items and have simple step-by-step instructions. Discover the science behind each experiment. They're quick to make and fun to show your friends and family. It lets you see in color, in 3D, close up, and far away—it's light!

Fascinating physics facts a young scientist needs to know, from one of the most trusted teams in STEM for children! This kid-friendly introduction to the physics of light covers the basics of solar energy, the electromagnetic spectrum, photon particles, light scattering, and reflection and refraction. Readers will follow along as two children and a cow in a lab coat learn how light works in realistic and imaginative scenarios. With accessible language, grounded examples, and easy, hands-on experiments you can do with household items, David A. Adler explains the basics of how light travels and bends. Anna Raff's bright, humorous illustrations make an intimidating topic easy-- and fun!-- to understand. This colorful picture book is a perfect supplement to lessons on light waves, and a great way to explore the topic at home. Named a finalist for the AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books in the Children's category, Light Waves is a must-have book for all self-professed science nerds!

Discover basic scientific principles of light using step-by-step experiments and activities.

What is light? Where are optics and photonics present in our lives and in nature? What lies behind different optical phenomena? What is an optical instrument? How does the eye resemble an optical instrument? How can we explain human vision? This book, written by a group of young scientists, answers these questions and many more.

Do It Yourself' offers an exciting new approach to understanding and investigation. Each book helps readers conduct their own experiments and activities to learn more about the world around them.

Collects experiments pertaining to reflection, refraction, and vision, offering simple projects using household items that demonstrate the behavior of light.

These totally awesome, kid-friendly experiments teach the scientific basics of light and sound.

Since the fabrication of the first laser in 1960, research and development in the area of optics has grown with tremendous speed. Optics has now become an extremely important area of study in schools, colleges and universities. The UN General Assembly has proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies. This book is a part of the celebration of the International Year of Light.
