Amazing activities with light and color / Anne O'Daly.

O'Daly, Anne, 1966- (author.).

Summary:

"Rainbows are fantastic displays in the sky. Aspiring scientists might spot one after a rain shower and wonder about the science that has made it form. This exciting title explains these important concepts and allows students to understand them firsthand through their own hands-on experiments! First students learn about key ideas of light and color with age-appropriate text that explains the color spectrum and reflections. Then explanatory text breaks down the scientific method that students use for their experiments. Each of the 11 activities features compelling illustrations that complement the step-by-step instructions. STEM concepts for each experiment are also provided, in addition to an explanation of the science that makes each possible--from creating a two-way mirror to trapping light! A vocabulary-enhancing glossary and a section with resources for further information make this title a beneficial addition to any STEM curriculum"-- Description from publisher.
