Product Description

Find out how infrared light is used today and what new uses are being dreamed up for tomorrow! Do lima beans give off infrared energy? Why can�t you see ultraviolet light? What the heck would you do with a Chatter Bot? Award-winning authors Clive Gifford, Shar Levine, and Leslie Johnstone put light and energy to the test with fun experiments and who-knew information about how channel surfing is made possible when transistors, resistors, capacitors and a light-emitting diode work together. Kids learn all about the history of the TV remote control, light and energy, infrared light, infrared glasses, light and heat, thermograms, circuit boards, LEDs (light-emitting diodes), resistors, transistors, and capacitors. Then kids build and program a universal remote to use with a home TV or VCR. Ages 8 and up. *1"w x 8.5"h x 3"d. SRP $*8.*9.
