Popis:

Aspiring young biologists will discover an amazing group of inspiring scientists and memorable experiments in Biology for Kids, the second book of The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series.Play disease detective to learn how John Snow tracked down the source of a cholera epidemic. Learn about biologist Ernest Everett Just`s discoveries and experiment with osmosis using eggs with dissolved shells. Make your own agar plates for growing bacteria and fungi just like Fannie Hess.This engaging guide offers a series of snapshots of 25 scientists famous for their work with biology, from ancient history through today. Each lab tells the story of a scientist along with some background about the importance of their work, and a description of where it is still being used or reflected in today`s world.A step-by-step illustrated experiment paired with each story offers kids a hands-on opportunity for exploring concepts the scientists pursued, or are working on today. Experiments range from very simple projects using materials you probably already have on hand, to more complicated ones that may require a few inexpensive items you can purchase online. Just a few of the incredible people and scientific concepts you`ll explore:Maria Sibylla Merian (b. 1647)Observe, photograph and illustrate insects on plantsScientific concepts: observation and documentation of insect habitat and metamorphosisCharles Darwin (b. 1809)Play a competitive advantage game.Scientific concepts: natural selection and evolutionLouis Pasteur (b. 1822)Make a flask like Pasteur`s to grow microbes from the air.Scientific concepts: microbial fermentation and germ theoryRae Wynn-Grant (b. 1985)Use cookie crumbs to attract ants.

Learning about plants and insects helped them discover new medicines and grow better crops. Studying animals taught them how to raise healthy poultry, cattle, and horses for food, farming, and transportation.Today`s biologists study everything imaginable. From oceans, jungles, and cities to the space station, the universe is their laboratory. Like those who went before them, they are fascinated by plants, animals, and microbes and understand that their discoveries can make the world a better place for all living things.With this fascinating, hands-on exploration of the history of biology, inspire the next generation of great scientists.Dig into even more incredible science history from The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series with: Chemistry for Kids, Physics for Kids, Math for Kids, and Ecology for Kids.
