First Steps in Science: What is Light?

English

By (author): Kay Barnham

Illustrated by: Marcelo Badari

Fundamental and FUN first science concepts for kids, and the great thing is: there are robots!

What is Light? ... a sunny sea-side adventure! is a fun story that leads children through the sources and features of light in everyday life. Flex, Astro and Spark, the super-powered robots who star in this story, learn these fundamentals of science as they spend an awesome day skipping rocks, paddling and setting up camp on a Super Scout trip to the beach!

In the First Steps in Science series, children are encouraged to become super scientists with the help of various colourful and friendly robots, who are all going on awesome adventures. Children as young as 3-5 years old learn science through stories with bright and cheerful illustrations.

Interactive elements throughout each book encourage hands-on engagement from children, and each story finishes with a creative activity to cement their science learning.

A parent, carer and teacher's guide at the back of each book makes this a great resource for home school and classroom learning.
