The third book in the non-fiction series Marvelous But True about
scientific wonder, focussing on Astrobiologist Carl Sagan and his
search for extraterrestrial life. Dreaming, daring, thinking, and
doing. For researchers ages 6 years and up. The Seventies.
Astrobiologist Carl Sagan is looking for ways to get in contact
with extraterrestrial life through Nasa's Voyager program. When
NASA sends satellites to the back of the solar system -- and even
further -- Carl takes his chance: he launches all kinds of sounds
and images from planet Earth into space. He collected and sent 115
pictures and 55 sounds in the forms of greetings to see if there
would be a response from extraterrestrial life. The satellites are
still in space, collecting valuable data, and NASA predicts they
can still make contact with them through the year 2025. How did he
do that? And where are they going to end up? Is there life in outer
space?
The second book in the Marvelous but True non-fiction series for
children by Jan Leyssens and Joachim Sneyers! "A good introduction
to the accomplishments of Marie Tharp for young readers. The
information given hits the highlights of her mapping and discovery
of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and will lead those interested in geology
and cartography to search for further reading. The illustrations
are bright and engaging, and complement the text well." - April
Gray In the early part of the twentieth century, the researcher
Marie Tharp worked on a detailed map of the bottom of the ocean.
And then she made a discovery-a chasm down the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean. Could this discovery help prove the age-old theory
that the continents on Earth move? The second book in a series
about scientific wonder, now focusing on oceanographic cartographer
Marie Tharp! Dreaming, daring, thinking, and doing. For researchers
ages 6 and up. Guided Reading Level P
The fourth book in a series about scientific wonder. Dreaming,
daring, thinking, and doing. For little researchers ages 6 years
and up. The early nineteenth century. Mary Anning is only twelve
years old when she discovers her first dinosaur skeleton while
looking for fossils to sell. It isn't just any skeleton; it's the
first almost complete Ichthyosaurus ever found. Over the next few
years, more dinosaurs follow. Although Mary doesn't get admitted to
a university, her research would later form the basis for
developing the theory of evolution, which made Mary one of the most
important paleontologists in history.
The fifth book in a series about scientific wonder. Dreaming,
daring, thinking, and doing. For researchers ages 6 years and up.
Early twentieth century. Roald Amundsen plans to travel to the
northernmost point of the globe. But after experiencing
difficulties with ships and airplanes in polar regions, he needs a
new method of travel. For many years, people had flown in airships.
Could an airship take him to the North Pole? Would it work in such
brutal cold? Eventually, Roald became the first person ever to
reach both poles, but it took the work of many people-and some
animals!-to make his journey possible . . .
