How to think like a scientist

Usually the magic school bus books offer excellent explanations of natural phenomena, but this one goes a little further and explains how scientists think and work using famous scientists as examples. Thanks to this book, my daughter understands what a hypothesis is and that it must be tested. Her favorite is the explanation of how Pasteur devised an experiment that proved bacteria in blood cause disease, not just the blood itself. Other scientists presented include Galileo, Newton, the Curies, and Einstein. All this in the fun, Frizzled manner of the magic school bus series.

Educational Fun

My son absolutely loves this book. He enjoys the Magic School Bus book series, but he especially likes this book which teaches him about famous scientists and their relative discoveries. This is educational fun at its best if your child enjoys learning from books.
