Scientists from A to Z Christine Hirsch

Am I an astronomer? Am I a botanist? Am I a dendrologist? Scientists from A to Z, an interactive alphabet book written in a question and answer format, will inspire children to see themselves as scientists. Because this book features photographs of children engaged in everyday scientific activities, young readers will be empowered by the idea that they don't have to be"grown-ups" to be scientists. As readers answer the questions posed by each scientist in the book and learn that scientists are more than wild-haired men in white coats, they will understand there are many fields of science. Children will learn that when they wonder and ask questions about the natural world, they are already scientists! Scientists from A to Z is essential for elementary classrooms and is perfect for introducing the concept of what a scientist is to young readers.
