£9.99
A creative fill-in book that encourages children to think like a scientist by noticing details, questioning everything and – crucially – dreaming up new ideas. For ages 7+
See InsideOverview
This book thinks you’re a scientist explores seven key scientific areas in the Science Museum’s new interactive gallery for children: force and motion, electricity and magnetism, earth and space, light, matter, sound and mathematics. Each spread centres on an open-ended question or activity, with space on the page for the child to write, draw or interact with the book. Imagine dogs are magnetic! Design how you would make a book fly. Write a new robot language. The book ends with a section for children to record their own guided independent investigations, including surveys and experiment logs.
