Publisher's Synopsis
This book is part of a series designed to develop children's knowledge of the basic principles of movement, structures, light, energy, sound, materials and technology, using an integrated science approach. A central theme running through the series is the close link between design in the natural world and design in modern technology.;This book introduces readers to the principles and properties of natural and artificial light and examines the uses to which this essential resource is put. Later sections also consider concepts of vision, photography, colour and solar power, drawing comparisons between scientific developments and the natural world. Experiments accompany each section, almost all of which can be carried out at home or school.
