Light
From the Series Early Bird Energy
Where does light come from? What do colors have to do with light? Light is a form of energy. Life on Earth is made possible because light from the sun carries heat to the earth. This book explores the essential concepts of light—photons, color, refraction, light rays and waves, etc.—through a series of easy-to-do experiments readers will enjoy doing.
