    The Kitchen Pantry Scientist: Biology for Kids

    Written by Liz Lee Heinecke

    Illustrated by Kelly Anne Delton

    Ages 7-11 | 128 Pages

    Publisher: Quarry Books | ISBN-13: 978-1631598326

    What to Expect: Science, History, Interactive, Nature

    Blending the history of science with interactive explorations of the scientific method, The Kitchen Pantry Scientist: Biology for Kids is fun, engaging, and well-organized to balance fact learning with experimental discovery.

    How hard is it to follow in the footsteps of a great scientist? Not hard at all, if you’re willing to get hands-on! Using stuff mostly found around the average home, you can make eggs float on water like Charles Darwin, create your own neural network like Santiago Ramón y Cajal, identify, press, and label plant parts like Ynés Mexia, move water in and out of cells like Ernest Everett or even grow your own microbes like Louis Pasteur. As these fun and simple experiments prove, the best way to learn about how the natural world works is to test it out for yourself!

    June Almeida Illustration and Text: The Kitchen Pantry Scientist: Biology for Kids

    The content is organized around famous biologists throughout history, and the inclusive round-up demonstrates the diversity and richness of STEM work, celebrating contributions from scientists of many different races, genders, nationalities, and backgrounds. Associated with each famous name is a hands-on experiment that readers can try to follow in the footsteps of that scientist. With a range of activities, the experiments have something for everyone, varying in terms of the materials needed, the skills practiced (from analytical to creative), and the level of ability. Safety hints and tips for each activity keep discovery under control, and a glossary and list of references offer readers opportunities for further research and learning.

    Overall, The Kitchen Pantry Scientist: Biology for Kids is an accessible and engaging introduction to biology for young scientists.
