Light Is All Around Us (Let's Read and Find Out Science, Level 2)

Just stop and take a look—light is all around you! It comes in many forms. Light from the sun brightens the day, firelight flickers in the night, and electric light fills our homes. Do you know the speed of light or how to measure its brightness? And how does light help you see? Read and find out about the many ways that light brightens our world!

This latest Let's-Read-and-Find-Out title encourages kids to learn about the physics of light. With over 100 -Read-and-Find-Out titles in print, our acclaimed science series has been going strong for more than 50 years! Supporting the Common Core State Standards, -Read-and-Find-Out offers diverse subjects so that children may build knowledge and broaden their perspectives using observation and experimentation. The Find-Out-More section includes interactive experiments that kids can try at school and at home: one experiment proves that plants need light and another explains how light makes shadows, introducing kids to fun research and encouraging curiosity and a hands-on approach.

Award-winning contributors Wendy Pfeffer and Paul Meisel shed light on this key subject!
