Description Light is the fastest thing in the universe. It travels so quickly that to people on Earth it seems to just appear and disappear. Through fun fact boxes, colorful diagrams, and straightforward explanations, this book introduces readers to important science concepts having to do with light such as reflection, refraction, shadows, and how light moves through materials. Riddles, quiz questions and hands-on experiments engage readers with each chapter's main topic, helping them synthesize the science curriculum information they've read in a new way..
