Overview

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.

Reviews

'This is is definitely no typical science book: you're encouraged to write, draw and scribble on the pages, or even rip them out. Perfect for budding scientists, it is a brilliantly fun hands-on book which will encourage you to imagine, experiment, create and ask the question What if...?'
The Week Junior

SCOOP

'Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, readers are encouraged to engage in their own hands-on experiments and explore science by questioning everything.
