How Do I See?
How does light affect the way we see the world?
I need light to see the world.
Where does light come from?
Light can come from many sources.
I can see objects that give off light.
Some animals can make their own light.
The Sun provides the light that shines on Earth.
We also have things in our homes that give off light.
Why can I see objects that do not produce light?
Light bounces off some objects.
Light does not bounce off others.
When light bounces off objects, it is called reflection.
What causes colors?
Light seems white, but is really made up of all colors.
The color we see is the color of light that bounces off the
object.
All the other colors do not bounce off.
What happens to the colors of light that do not bounce off?
Some light gets absorbed.
It does not get reflected.
Other objects are clear.
Light passes through them.
I need light to see.
I see things that make light.
I see things that light bounces off.
The light that bounces off enters my eyes.
Without light, I could not see the world
