Light is Color! is the explainer comic (and coloring and activity) book, written for intermediate and middle school students, that is a funny, slightly irreverent, but scientifically accurate guide to the visible and invisible world of color and light! This graphic novel is written by Kevin Kurtz and illustrated by Nicole Kurtz, who are not related in any way whatsoever (Really! They met because they were both educators on the JOIDES Resolution).
Teachers and homeschool parents can use the book to teach concepts of:
Absorption, transmission, reflection, and refraction of light waves
Transparency, translucency, and opacity of materials
Convex and concave lenses
The electromagnetic spectrum
Properties of color
The process of photosynthesis
Career possibilities related to light, color, and vision
Light is Color! is available as both a paperback book and an interactive eBook. For more information on the book, including a sneak peek at some of the pages, and to purchase copies, visit the book’s page on Etsy or on Amazon.
