Adventures with Heat and Light is an immersive
exploration of two forms of energy that are essential for our daily lives. How
do shadows form and how are they useful for us? Which animals have the ability
to produce their own light? What is the best way to get warm during winter? And
how much heat is too much for us? Experiment with different ways of handling
heat when cooking. Play around with shadow puppets. And follow the glow of
bioluminescent creatures. From the saunas of ski resorts to simple magic tricks
at home, understand the science behind heat and light as never before!
The World of Science comics series engages,
educates and entertains children, imparting scientific facts, while nurturing
the love of Science through dynamic, full-colour comics. All topics covered are
in line with the Singapore primary Science syllabus and the Cambridge primary
Science curriculum, and also offer beyond-the-syllabus insights designed to
stretch inquiring young minds.
