The Magic Wand and Other Bright Experiments on Light & Color By Paul Doherty, Don Rathjen, and the Exploratorium Teacher Institute
Learn why the sky is blue, but sunsets are red. Make strange, beautiful shapes appear with mirrors, tape, and cardboard. The 25 Exploratorium experiments in this book--which include "Look into Infinity," "Soap Film Painting," and "Polarized Light Mosaic"--provide hands-on experience in the exploration of light and color. The book is divided into easy-to-follow sections that include instructions and advice. There's also a list of materials and suggestions on how to find them. Other sections offer assembly instructions, contain descriptions of how to use the completed exhibits, and explain the science behind them.
