Our sense of sight relies on the presence of light. However, since light is not visible as it travels through air, it is not always obvious how important light is in creating the world we see. Light bouncing off objects gives them their color and creates reflections in shiny surfaces. Objects that block light create shadows that move and change as the object moves. The Leap into Science light and shadow workshops invite children and families to experiment with light and explore the ways that light interacts with objects to create shadows, reflections, and more.
