Who thought shadows could be such fun? They are-with Shadow Play.
This lively science activity book shows you how to turn a cardboard box, a light bulb, and some Plexiglas into a shadow box, and then use the box to create fascinating shadows with everything from pieces of cardboard and wire to three-dimensional objects to clear glass bottles. Once you add a magnifying glass and make a few simple alterations, your shadow box becomes a box camera. By changing light sources and switching lenses, you'll be able to produce all kinds of special picture images. Over fifty imaginative experiments help you explore some of the basic properties of light-and discover how studying shadows led to the invention of the camera.
Shadow Play is the perfect book for learning more about the world, or just having a great time. With it, you'll never look at a shadow in the same way again!
