The app's depth of content and easy to use features will whet kids' curiosity about light & optics and keep them inspired for more!

This app is aligned with Bloom’s taxonomy, and draws from Common Core State Standards* and Next Generation Science Standards* (NGSS) for K-12 science.

As a member of the KNOW What’s Inside program, this app has been designed especially for children, with special attention to online privacy.

The app is packed with the following features:
1. What's (Animation) and How's (Concepts): Study principles of optics and grasp them in detail with easy to understand animation, and simulation in concepts
2. Quiz: Test your understanding of concepts and ability to relate to real life examples
3. Did You Know: View interesting facts and snippets of information about mirrors and lens from both a historical perspective and current context
4. Explore More: Apply the concepts you read to simple experiments using objects around you.

The suggested sequence for going through various modules in this app is Animation-Concepts-Quiz-Did You Know-Explore More.

This app is intended:
(a) for students primarily in the age group of 8 to 15 years including those in middle school and high school who want to understand concepts from scratch,
(b) as a supplemental guide for teachers, and
