This book looks at what reflections are and how we can use them. - Mirrors reflect light back at exactly the same angle. You can make a "mirror book" to explore symmetry and multiple reflections. - Why does a straight straw look bent in a glass of water? Experiment using air, oil and water to see how different materials affect the speed of light. - Look at how our eyes use reflected light to see and make a pinhole camera to show how the eye works. And much more!

This book looks at the different places light comes from, including natural and artificial sources. - Discover the difference between a light source and a reflective object and how you can tell which is which. - Look at our largest and most important light source - the Sun - and what happens when you take sunlight away. - Explore light technology by finding out how we use lasers and fibre optics. And much more!

This book looks at how shadows are created. - Test which materials block light (are opaque), let some light through (are translucent) and let most light through (are transparent). - Look at how you can make animal shadows using your hands! - You can make a sundial to explore how shadows can change depending on the position of the Sun. And much more!
