Synopsis

The sun is a star that sends out light. The light we can see is called visible light, meaning that it is light we can see with our eyes. Light is a form of energy, and in physics we say that energy gives something the ability to do work. Plants use light energy from the sun to make their own food in a process called photosynthesis, and light energy gives our eyes the ability to see the world around us. Light also comes from other sources than the sun, for example flashlights. Light behaves in different ways. It bounces off objects that are opaque and goes to our eyes, allowing us to see the objects. Light goes through objects that are transparent, such as window glass. The light bounces off objects behind the transparent glass and goes through the glass, allowing us to see the objects. Translucent objects have part of the light bounce off them and the rest of the light pass through them. Stained glass is an example of a translucent object. Light energy from the sun makes it possible for life to exist on Earth.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids.The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury."In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate."The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products, including leveled readers and mini books, at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
