Is the science of light a bit shadowy to you? This book will help you to work like a scientist: testing ideas, making investigations and doing experiments. But you’ll also be an artist, using light and art techniques to bend light into a rainbow and decode mirror images – let there be light!
Science Makes Art skilfully blends science theory with fun art projects to encourage learning and creativity. It’s the perfect series to introduce key science principles that and for cross-curricular and topic based learning. With links to the curriculum, it expands on what children will have learned in school. The series is applicable equally to creative children and children with more of a scientific mind!
Using materials from around the home, the art projects include:
– Shadow puppets
– Stained glass window
– Reflective collages
– Colour wheel
– Optical illusions
Ideal for readers age 8+.
