Light and colour - Peter D Riley

Straight Forward with Science: Light and Colour looks at what light is, where it comes from and how it reaches us here on Earth. Light rays, shadows, mirrors and colour are all also explored.

Straight Forward with Science offers a straightforward, but fun,
approach to essential science learning and has been specifically
designed to support the science curriculum at Key Stage 2. Written by an
award-winning author, each book explores basic scientific principles
and shows them in action, while simple activities and experiments bring
the science to life. Suitable for readers aged 10 and up.
