All About Light
Run time: 20 minutes Most people certainly take light for granted. But understanding the basic nature of light can open up a whole new world! Students learn how light travels in waves as well as how those waves behave. Children discover the connection between light and color. With real-life demonstrations and a hands-on activity, these concepts are more easily understood. “All About Light.” SAFARI Montage. Schlessinger Media, 1999. |
