- Reading
- Choose one activity at a time, gather its listed materials and read the safety instructions first. Pause afterwards to compare what happened with the book’s explanation.
- Themes
- Investigating light and colour: Experiments explore how light behaves, including colour effects and reflection and refraction. The book presents these as scientific ideas to investigate, with explanations of the principles behind the activities.
- Vision and colour blindness: The book includes a section on eyes and vision and a note on colour blindness. The topic is included, but its framing and depth are not clear.
- Worth knowing
- Some activities involve sunlight and heat, including an experiment about toasting marshmallows. Check the book’s safety instructions and materials before deciding which experiments to do together.
