Popular childrenâs science educator Stephanie Ryan, a chemistry major from the 2004 graduating class at Saint Maryâs College, has released a new book, âLetâs Learn About Chemistry.â
The book suits a wide range of children from ages 0-7. The board book is full of colorful images for the youngest science learners and more complex descriptions for older children. There are no wrong answers in the book, as long as the child offers a reason why.
The book uses a natural skill that small children already apply to the world, comparing and contrasting. They play a game where they find which of the four pictures is not like the others and explain why they think that. The illustrations have multiple layers in that children could say, âThis is the only green one,â or, âYou canât eat these!â As long as they provide evidence and compare, they are doing it correctly and can have fun while learning about science.
