Review:

Acadia is a very curious young girl who happens to love science. When she explores her world she often notices changes and wants to know why these changes have occurred. In one instance she notices lots of trash in a pond that is effecting the frogs that live there. She logs her findings in a journal and even writes to her local council person. When studying why the leaves change she notes new words that she’s learned and even tackles drawing and identifying the various types of trees and their leaves. In her germ experiment Acadia wonders how effective washing her hands are. She does research, has a hypothesis and a list of procedures for her subject. There are so many questions and topics to learn about.

Author Katie Coppens has created a unique way of introducing young readers to a STEM environment for learning. Simple questions with simple research tactics will help readers better understand how science works and how easily they will learn how to perform an experiment, how to long information in a journal and where to find more resources for study. Parents and teachers can use this as a guide to teach science and get readers engaged.
