Prepare to be amazed! Optical illusions are tricks that our eyes and brain play on us to make us see things differently. Explore the science behind what makes them work using color, light, and patterns. Featuring fun illusions, these books are totally mind-boggling!
The exciting optical illusions throughout this series explore not only the science of optics, but also interconnected STEAM topics like neurology. Covering both two-dimensional and three-dimensional illusions, there are mathematical, health, and artist explanations behind each illusion’s trick. The texts are rich with information and chock-full of examples on each page, but the hidden gems are in the back. There, each title has an activity that allows readers to create their own illusions based on helpful, structured instructions and what they have learned. VERDICT Teachers who want to mix STEAM ideas into their art, math, and physics classes can look to this series to boost the fun in their classrooms.
