Here's proof, illumination does lead to understanding, as students take part in a variety of activities designed to look deeply into the subject of light. This award-winning volume gets students involved hands-on with activities that explore these concepts: Where does light come from? Transparent, translucent, opaque, prisms, colors of light, how we see, and magnification. Other activities: how light travels, reflection, reflected art, Seeing is believing?, and more. Skills challenged include: predicting, observing, recording, following directions, cooperating, and critical thinking. Everything's here to help you make each project a success -- organizational procedures, required and optional materials lists (readily available), teaching suggestions, and complete, step-by-step directions for all projects. Also features a two-sided, full-color (one side) pull-out poster about Light (and the spectrum) on one side and Your Eyes Can Fool You on the other side. Illustrated throughout with helpful line art as well as fun recurring "mouse" characters. All 16 pages perforated for easy removal.
Great book filled with alot of elements to teach light.

Since 1979, Evan-Moor Educational Publishers has provided teachers and educators with practical, creative, and engaging PreK-6+ educational materials to support and enrich the curriculum. We strive to produce educational materials that are aligned with current standards and best educational practices, but that are also aligned with student interests and motivations. We pride ourselves on our ability to create products that not only build and reinforce basic and complex skills, but that build and reinforce a curiosity about the subjects in which those skills are taught—about reading, writing, math, science, the arts, social studies, and geography—products that help children learn. And, just as important, products that help children love learning.
