Sunlight and moonlight, reflections and rainbows. Light is everywhere you look. But where does it come from? How does it make shadows? Readers will learn the answers to these questions and more through easy-to-read text and vivid photographs. An experiment rounds out the book and provides a hands-on learning experience to encourage deeper understanding. Meets Next Generation Science Standards.

We can see light. We know it makes plants grow. Light pours from the sun and from glowing light bulbs. But we can't touch it, or hold it. What is light? Learn about this science basic, and then get hands-on with an experiment that will light up the classroom.
