Discover the science in everyday life and explore how the world works with scientist Dr. Shane
Bergin! Ever wondered how boats float? Or which birds gather in your garden? Do you know what
makes the perfect cake a perfect cake? Or how to make your own musical instrument? When Luke
and Ruby head to Nanny and Grandad's house for their mid-term break they discover their
grandparents' old science notebooks. But it turns out that science isn't just about blowing
things up! With the help of Nanny and Grandad they discover the role science plays in the
world around them whether that be birdwatching telephone making plant growing and beyond.
They write all of it down in their new science notebook. But what about the reader? Shouldn't
they be doing this stuff too? Dr Shane thinks so. Interspersed between Luke and Ruby's cozy
scientific adventures is the reader's very own 'how to' science notebook. Filled with facts
hints and suggestions it encourages our young scientists to roll up their sleeves and give Luke
and Ruby's experiments a go. Readers will be immersed in a world of science and discovery that
is accessible right on their doorstep.
