Companion summary

Have you ever wondered why a room feels so different when you switch the light off? Light helps us see everything around us, from your breakfast bowl to the stars outside. Here is something amazing: without any light at all, even the sharpest eyes cannot see a single thing. When you finish today, try covering a torch with your hand and watch what happens to the shadows.

Wake Up Your Eyes!

Wake Up Your Eyes!

Close your eyes tight. It is dark! Now open them. You can see again. Light helps you see.
