This Book Thinks You're a Scientist, developed by the Science Museum,
London, as a complement to their new interactive gallery for children,
explores seven key scientific areas: force and motion, electricity and
magnetism, earth and space, light, matter, sound, and mathematics. Each
spread centers on an open-ended question or activity, with space on the
page for the child to write, draw, or interact with the book. Bend water
with static power. Pack a suitcase for a trip to space. Design a new
musical instrument. At the end of the book, there is a section for
children to record their own guided independent investigations,
including surveys and space to log the results of their experiments.
Hand-drawn illustrations and a collage-style photographs encourage
creativity and help children to think like a scientist by noticing
details, questioning everything, and dreaming up new ideas.
