It talks about what light is, incandescence, color, pigments, and more. Something that I liked about the book is the pleasing photos on each page. The photos are simple and clear. I would use this book as a read-aloud for 4-5 graders. I don't think I would use this book with my first graders because there are too many words on each page and I just don't think it would keep my students engaged. In a 4-5 grade class, I could use it to introduce a light unit or even to check understanding in the middle of a light unit by using question prompts. This book is all about light. The author explains concepts such as incandescence, iridescence, pigment, energy, refraction, wavelength/frequency, lenses, atmospheric light, and sunlight. I like the book because it contains descriptive and beautiful images to go along with the abstract and complex content. Throughout the book as well as at the end of the book, the author also provides some experiments that can be done. This allows students to try exploring light themselves, which may be helpful for kinesthetic learners (and will be fun for all learners). I would use this in the classroom by putting it in my library and referring to it during a unit about light, the solar system, or color. This book is best for intermediate students and older, because the concepts are quite abstract and may not be developmentally appropriate for early elementary students. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"The wonder of light has fascinated readers for ages. Walter Wick's mesmerizing photographs paired with simple yet fascinating text and scientific observations help readers understand the secrets and complexity of light. You will learn what light is made of and how it fits alongside everything else in the world. Walter introduces readers into the mystery behind incandescence, light waves, the color spectrum and iridescence as well how we perceive light in our world and beyond. Walter Wick demonstrates that science and art both offer ways to observe the world around us."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This is both a very cool book and a sort of unsatisfying book because it touches on a lot of concepts that make me as a reader beg for further explanation. So if you look at this as a jumping off point for further reading and exploration, it's a winner. On it's own, it sort of just boggles the mind, though I'm sure there are very smart kids out there who already have a strong background in science who will enjoy it. ( )
