PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Light, young Olive and her cousin, Troy, learn all about the properties of light with the help of a visiting inventor and a room full of his crystal trophies. They discover that light behaves in different ways to change the way we see things. When light waves hit something, three things can happen: the light can bounce, it can pass through or it can be absorbed. Troy, Olive and the inventor also examine a variety of devices, which use lenses to bend light and help us see images correctly, such as telescopes, periscopes and binoculars. Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"The series is humorous, informative and very educational. Explanations are clear and relevant, with neccesary diagrams to explain exactly how things work...These are exceptional physics videos that merit a place in all educational collections."- School Library Journal (August 2003)
