---

A unit of light, both a particle and a wave

​If a surface is white it reflects light, if it is black it absorbs light

When a beam of light is put through a prism it splits into frequencies we see as colors

Cyanobacteria live all over the world, they are the base of the food chain in the Arctic, where plankton live

Arctic Ice comes and goes

Ice reflects light
