SuitabookOptical physics for babies
Chris Ferrie
- Reading
- Read together and let the child lead the pace: linger on each new term, invite them to describe what they think it means, then return to the rainbow example to link the ideas.
- Themes
- Introducing optical physics: The book presents reflection and refraction as basic optical-physics concepts and connects them with how rainbows are made. Its stated approach is introductory and informational, using these concepts to explain light-related phenomena.
- Worth knowing
- The book introduces scientific terms such as reflection and refraction. A child may benefit from pausing over the words and connecting them to examples they already recognise, such as a rainbow.
