Experiments with Light by
The science of light is presented to readers in a fun and fact-filled way in this guide to conducting simple experiments. Essential background information is given to readers through age-appropriate text and helpful diagrams. Readers are then encouraged to take what they've learned and apply it in a hands-on way. Step-by-step instructions, vibrant photographs, and colorful illustrations take readers through each experiment as they work to earn a colorful badge in the end that reflects their new role as light experiment experts.
Light It Up! by
With the prevalence of artificial light in our modern daily lives, its many incredible forms can be taken for granted. This illuminating title will help readers understand the many remarkable properties of light through ten memorable hands-on activities. These include creating a rainbow and serving water that lights up using only household materials. Step-by-step instructions and vivid illustrations guide readers through each project, and accessible text connects each experiment to science curricula concepts including physics, light, reflection, and angles.
Light and Colors by
Some concepts about light and color can seem confusing to students without demonstrations for clarification. This vibrant volume provides plenty of experiments that young scientists can do themselves to learn more about light. They're accompanied in the lab by colorful cartoons Professor Albert, Greg the Robot, and Monica. Together, they'll review the scientific method while they learn about reflection, refraction, the invisible and visible spectrum, and much more. All experiments require items that readers likely have in their homes and step-by-step activities make each process achievable, entertaining, and educational.
Experiments with Light by
By doing the simple science projects in this book, young scientists will discover how distance affects images made by a convex lens, observe a wave model of polarized light, and explore the science behind mirages. The experiments use materials found at home or at school. Readers can take what they have learned from these experiments and use suggestions to create their own unique science fair projects. An explanation of the scientific method, safety tips, scientific illustrations, an appendix with science supply companies, a glossary, further reading with books and websites, and an index complete this title.
Physics Experiments in Your Own Light Box by
Ever wonder about the science behind a rainbow? Now you can solve the mystery by building a light box of your own! Using tools and supplies you can easily find, conduct experiments and test hypotheses on reflection, refraction, shadows, color and more.
