They Found What?/They Made What?

Discoveries and inventions from Indian laboratories are the subject here, told as stories about the people who made them. Shweta Taneja ranges across biology, space science, ecology, nanotechnology, physics and engineering, keeping each account short and following the question the researcher set out to answer. Quizzes, activities and simple experiments sit between the chapters, so reading turns into doing. Notable points: • Real discoveries and inventions presented as narrative rather than textbook entries • Fields covered include space science, ecology, engineering and nanotechnology • Activities, quizzes and simple experiments placed alongside the reading • Language pitched at upper-primary and middle-school readers, with no jargon assumed A useful pick for children, parents, teachers and school libraries looking for science that invites questions, available in English at Boipoka.
