The science inside
- Sound & Light
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Scientific Discovery & Careers
Your child will meet:
- Vision depends on light entering the eye from an object rather than the eye sending out sight rays.
- Optics investigates how light travels and interacts with objects and the visual system.
- A scientific process uses questions, controlled observations or tests, and reasoning that other people can examine.

Parent effort: Quick discussion
Celebrated in a film featuring Omar Sharif in his final role, meet the scientist known as the "Father of Optics," Ibn al-Haytham! During the golden age of science, knowledge, and invention in Muslim civilization -- also known as the "Dark Ages" in Western Europe -- this incredible scholar discovered how we see and set the stage for the methods we now know as the scientific process. Packed with beautiful and engaging photos, kids will learn all about this fascinating scientist. The level 3 text provides accessible, yet wide-ranging, information for independent readers. This book is a companion to the international educational campaign, "1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn al-Haytham," that includes interactive exhibits, workshops, live shows, and a 12-minute film starring Omar Sharif in his final film role before his death.
