Twist, scientist. New York: Abrams Books for Young Readers.
Ada Twist, Scientist
is a wonderful rhyming book that introduces students to what great scientists
do. Scientist ask questions like why,
when, how and what to help them
discover how the world works. The book encourages students to explore and find
out the answers to their questions. Ada’s parents are frequently frustrated by
the mess and constant stream of questions, but they eventually realize that
their young daughter will not stop being inquisitive.
Ada Twist, Scientist
portrays a young African-American girl who is fascinated with science and
asking questions. This book would be great as an introduction for the inquiry
process, forming a hypothesis and STEM activities. The pictures will engage the students along
with the catching rhyme and flow of the story.
