The Ultimate Girls' Guide to Science by Beth Caldwell Hoyt; Erica Ritter; Debbie Palen (Illustrator)Call Number: Q147 .H69 2003
In their introduction, the authors explain that during middle school, girls tend to lose interest in science or to stop believing in their abilities. Their remedy for the situation is a resource that makes the subject fun and explains its functions in everyday life. Included are chapters on earth science, biology, computer science, botany, ecology, chemistry, astronomy, physics, and engineering. Each one provides a brief introduction to the discipline, describes related careers, offers a quiz to gauge interest, and suggests experiments.
