Dive into the stories behind the facts to understand how scientific methods work and how discoveries are made
Critical thinking and science are powerful tools of understanding. But thanks to the internet, we can gather a lot of information and from what seem like expert opinions without true training. How can young readers learn to make informed, evidence-based decisions?
Through four chapters covering three topics each, this book answers questions such as How do we know the earth is round? and How do we know the climate is changing? to illustrate and explain scientific processes.Readers learn about scientific consensus, crowdsourced science, iEcology, hypotheses, theories, double-blind studies, and ethics in fields such as health, the environment, astronomy, climate change, technology, and more.
Written in a conversational tone with humorous illustrations, readers will see the value in asking questions and saying “I wonder…” as they move through the world and sift through new information.
