With step-by-step instructions and highly visual 3D illustrations that successfully guide you through each of the projects, central scientific concepts are presented so that you'll understand the "why" as well as the "how" of light, with 25 activities, including the following:



- fuse colored light beams with a light wand.

- split light into a cascade of rainbows.

- make a kaleidoscope.

- mold lenses.

- make a microscope and telescope.

- capture a shadow.

- box a camera.
