Laws of Light [Annenberg project]
Light behaves according to special rules; for example, it usually travels in a straight line and it
bounces off mirrors at the same angle it hits them.
http://www.learner.org/teacherslab/science/light/lawslight/index.html
Science of Light [Annenberg project]
Light in Color. Color is more than decoration, and perceiving color is tricky. Three activities help
you see how colors interact and how we can use color as a scientific tool.
