Experiments With Sound And Light

Sound and light aren’t just sensations picked up by our senses—they’re examples of science at work in the wonderful world around us! Budding scientists will delight in the text’s age-appropriate experiments, which are made easy through step-by-step instructions and photos. Each experiment is accompanied by a question-and-answer feature that answers common questions encountered while experimenting, and a concluding quiz tests reader’s knowledge of these important science concepts.

Offers experiments and activities to explain the properties of light and sound.

Light and sound both travel in waves, but sound waves travel significantly slower than light. Theories like this are difficult to grasp in words, but there are easy ways to see them in action. With this book's simple experiments, young scientists will test out how light can bend and how even invisible sounds can make things move, helping them understand how even the most complex theories work. Through step-by-step instructions, young readers will learn the right way to set up their experiments and expand on concepts they already know.

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

How are sounds produced? Does light travel in a specific path? Are all shadows black? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, you can learn the answers to these questions and more. If you are interested in competing in science fairs, the book contains lots of great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.

Engaging experiments using simple toys and everyday stuff teach curious young minds all about light and sound. Readers can take an up-close look at how sound vibrations work, what pitch is, how reflection and refraction are related, and so much more. With low-level text and step-by-step photos, connecting young readers with science concepts has never been simpler!

Explores various aspects of light and sound, including reflection, the bending of light, optical instruments, color, sound waves, the sense of hearing, and music.
