Develops skills in scientific investigation
By showing how scientists plan expeditions, use tools like drones and submersibles, and collect real data, this book teaches young readers how science works in the field.
Description
Scientists in the Wild: Antarctica takes young readers on a real expedition to one of Earth’s harshest places, the frozen landscapes of Antarctica. A team of scientists sail aboard the research ship “Noto,” use drones to track penguin colonies, plunge beneath ice sheets in submersibles, and drill ancient ice cores to understand how climate is changing.
Along the way, vibrant illustrations and accessible writing make the science come alive. It’s perfect for children who are curious about how people gather data in extreme environments and how that knowledge helps us care for our planet.
