CHAPTER 1 DARKNESS AND LIGHT It is a stormy night Rain pounds against the window Thunder crashes overhead Suddenly a flash of lightning appears in the sky The lamp goes out All the colors in the room disappear Lightning can light up a dark sky 5
Everything looks black The electricity is off But after a few minutes the lamp flickers back on The objects in the room are now visible Everything is colorful again Light is the opposite of darkness Light is what makes colors possible Without light our eyes would not work That is why the room looked black when the lamp went out 6
A living room would not be visible without light 7
