This book covers the development of the electric light bulb from Edison's experiments to electric circuits on small and large scales; Michael Farraday's electric generator; light sources and the difference between natural light and the sun to electric light and how we see light, the spectrum and Sir Isaac Newton, shadows, reflections, scattering and refraction. It is one of a series which explains science through examining items that children know about. Each book combines a small amount of history with information on how the object works and the forces or scientific principles behind it. Each book is directly relevant to Key Stage 2.
