Light allows us to see and keeps plants alive. But did you know that it can also cut diamonds or metal, measure a moving object's speed, and read CDs and DVDs?A True Book: Physical Science allows readers to find answers to puzzling questions as well as discover how people have used physical science to make countless innovations throughout history. This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study.Readers will learn all about light, from what it is and how it moves through space, to how people have learned to harness its power. They will also discover how people use light to see and conduct experiments to explore how light can be moved and manipulated.

This physical science volume addresses mixtures and solutions and the technology involved with creating and studying them. Readers will learn about the methods that chemistry pioneers used to arrive at an understanding of the nature of mixtures. Readers will learn how to distinguish mixtures from solutions. Historical examples and contemporary examples from the fields of pharmacology and microelectronics will promote interest and understanding. Diagrams and colorful photographs of scientists at work will help make complex scientific concepts easier for elementary readers to understand.
