As important as science is in the
world today, with educators
and business leaders clamoring
for tomorrows experts in a
wide variety of fields, science still faces some
hurdles in getting students psyched. Scientists
in Action! is here to change that. By profiling
energetic, hands-on, action-packed scientific
careers that take experts out of the lab and into
the world, each volume will make scientists into
Indiana Jones (well, almost). Each book has photos
of the scientists in action, inspiring stories of real-
life scientists changing the world, and ideas on
how students can explore each science as a career.
WHO NEEDS LAB COATS? GRAB
YOUR PARKA, YOUR SWIM
FINS, AND YOUR HARD HAT
AND JOIN THE SCIENT ISTS IN
ACT ION!
“
”
• This informative set immerses students in various
STEM-related careers, both familiar and lesser-known. After
a preliminary “Action!” chapter introduces readers to the
field, each volume subsequently and thoroughly addresses
educational requirements (“The Scientists and Their
Science”), equipment (“Tools of the Trade”), and examples
(“Tales fromthe Field” and “Scientists in the News”).
Text-dependent questions and critical thinking activities
conclude each chapter.
VERDICT:…this is first-rate nonfiction for
educational or recreational reading.
