Review
The National Curriculum states that by the age of 11 most children should be able to describe what happens to light when we see, as part of Key Stage Two Science: physical processes. One way to support your child's learning at home for this part of the curriculum is to use DK Eyewitness Guides: Light, in association with the Science Museum, which covers the subject comprehensively and in a fun, bright and accessible way. Hundreds of colour pictures and photographs, plus thousands of interesting facts make this a fantastic reference book for the bookshelf at home and school. Suitable for ages 8 and above. --Amanda York
