Light And Colour: Know About Science

Reflection, refraction, shadows and rainbows are explained in plain terms in this entry from the Know About Science series. Dreamland Publications keeps the writing short and the illustration frequent, so a child meets an idea as a picture before meeting it as a definition. Topics move from what light is and how it travels to how colours form and why objects look the way they do. Everyday examples carry the weight, which keeps the science grounded in things a reader has already noticed without loading the page with terminology. Topics covered: • How light travels, reflects and bends • The formation of colour and the making of rainbows • Shadows and other familiar optical effects • Diagrams and colour illustration on each topic Pitched at primary-school readers, classroom science corners and parents supporting homework, published by Dreamland Publications and available from Boipoka.
