The amount of information on this site is enormous. The topics are not related primarily to light, but to all topics of science. Each topic has a list of questions and answers. Most of the answers are technical in nature. This site would act as a primary source for a teacher to beef up his/her background information or as a source for answers to tough classroom questions.

What is a rainbow? What makes a double rainbow? What makes the bow? All these questions are answered at this website. The author has spent a great deal of time explaining why rainbows occur, how they happen, and when to expect them. I consider this a teacher resource, just because of the complexity in the explanations. High or gifted learners might be able to use this as a primary research source.

This site is an excellent resource for those students who are interested in optical illusions. There are many examples, and most of the examples are interactive. The author has used Java script which allow the user to move, drag, and interact with things, normally not available on other websites. Some descriptions on how the illusion works are given but others are not – research possibility! Potential for this resource exists as an information starting point for students. The reading level is mid range – a grade 5 student who is "on track" would be able to understand what is written.
