ScienceWiz® Light: Imagine splitting white light into hundreds of rainbows, making a kaleidoscope, molding lenses and capturing shadows. These are only a few of the 25 projects that has made ScienceWiz® Light such a favorite book and kit with children. It comes with a 40 page science book with step by step, highly visual instructions and materials.

Children discover both the primary colors of light and the primary colors of paint and crayons. They are not the same! It may be shocking to discover that neither red nor blue are considered primary colors for markers or paints! Most of us were misled about this at an early age. So sad!

They blend, bounce (reflect) and bend (refract) light. They split, combine, scatter, absorb and filter it. 

Children examine common objects with magnifying lenses. Then they form their own lenses using both water and then gelatin. They soon discover that with lenses — SHAPE is everything.  They filter images and explore the world of the invisible. They discover that only a tiny fraction of “light” is actually visible to the human eye.

Included with this book are rainbow glasses (diffraction glasses), a light wand to mix colors of lights, materials to make a kaleidoscope, an electric motor and discs to spin colors together, a prism, lens molds, materials to make a camera obscura and two magnifiers.

About the Author

AUTHOR: Penny Norman, Ph.D. earned a doctoral degree in Biophysics from U.C. Berkeley. She became involved with the development of primary grade science materials through volunteer work, which she began as her own children started school. During this process she became deeply concerned about the limited exposure of elementary age students to the physical sciences. 

Her concern has translated into a 20 year effort to test and revamp science materials for the primary grades. Her work with children developed into a product line initially under the auspices of grants from the National Science Foundation and the Franklin Foundation. Her published titles reflect Dr. Norman’s extensive testing and involvement with children and teachers and her love and commitment to both.
