  This series is aimed at the National Curriculum Science 5-16, levels 3 to 6. Each book has a structured development of its scientific content. This book contains a detailed development of the topic of light, its importance in our lives and its behaviour. The book progresses from the simple to the more complex concepts involved in the topic of light and explains such scientific phenomena as how light can pass through some substances and not others. It can bounce, bend, be split up and absorbed - factors that have been used to develop the many optical devices that we have come to rely on for our health, entertainment and scientific investigations. The author also wrote the Young Scientist and Science is Fun .
