Absorption: In the left top side, the solar panels absorb sunlight. The left roof also absorbs sunlight which makes the room dark for the nocturnal owls
Transmission: In the right attic room there is a window which has different colored glass. When a flash light hits red color sheet, red light will transmit but all the other six colors of light will be absorbed. The same thing is shown with all color cards. The polar bears are watching the Aurora Lights effect
The hanging butterfly chandelier makes beautiful design on the floor when light is passed through. The mother polar bear in the right attic room is the light source.
Refraction: The flower vase shows refraction. The wall paper pattern behind looks wavy when seeing through the water. The flower stem also looks bent in water
Reflection: The ten engineers in the house are reflected by a mirror on the floor
Scattering: The two cogwheel doors show scattering. When a light source hit one cogwheel door, it will show a rainbow on the other wall
