Did you know that anyone can be a scientist? All you need is to be curious about the world around you. In So You Want To Be A Scientist, author Linda Soules shows what it entails to be a scientist. Many scientists stumbled upon some of the most important discoveries in history by trying to figure out what went wrong. Scientists work in various environments, including the laboratory and the field. They gather data, conduct experiments, analyze the results, check for errors, consult with colleagues, and write down their findings so others can evaluate them and build upon their research. This picture book highlights the tools of their trade and takes you through a day in their life. You will also learn about some of the famous scientists in history.
So You Want To Be A Scientist doesn't just cover the fundamentals of being a scientist; it also delves into the different types of challenges scientists face throughout their careers. Author Linda Soules has done a fantastic job with the "So You Want To Be A..." series of picture books so far. And this book continues to be as informative, engaging, and fun as the previous installments. Children will find it both educational and entertaining. Soules sets a similar narrative pattern as the rest of the books, highlighting the career, the tools of the job, its unique challenges, and a day in the life of the professionals. I have enjoyed every book in this series, and this one follows the trend. It's a must-have on the bookshelf for anyone with children.
