From site:  Operation Optics gives kids the opportunity to experience the science of light, color and optical instrumentation in both an arcade-style game and a lab-style workbench.

In the action-packed game, kids adjust mirrors and lens to aim and diffuse light beams so they can defend against invading robotic space creatures. As each four-level round is completed, the pace of the game increases, giving kids an endless fun-filled challenge...

In the "Did You Know That...?" area, context-sensitive information about the science of optics is presented. If the "Read It To Me" button is selected, that same information is spoken and kids can follow along as each word is highlighted. The "Discover More" button links to more in-depth material. Together, these features offer kids an opportunity to

  • discover basic principles of light, color and optical instruments.
  • discover characteristics of light energy and the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • identify vocabulary associated with the math and science of optics.
