Inventors & Scientists

Thankful for this series. This was one of the first that we purchased and read aloud to our 4 kids. We own another collection of biography's popular amongst homeschoolers but these by and large are the ones that have kept our kids engaged and interested. My 7 year old asks to read the ones we aren't currently reading as a family on his own! Such a win! Great resource to go along with the history curriculum from Master Books.

My 7 and 10 year olds absolutely love this series and this book was no acception! As we read, the keep asking for just one more chapter--these books are hard to put down!

My children are really enjoying this! a great way to learn fun facts and include it in science! Lord willing we will look into other books in this series!

My 5th grader, that is not a fan of reading, loves these stories because they are interesting and short.

This is a great addition to have!!

This book is a fantastic way to introduce your kids to people in history. It is so inspiring to learn about how the things in our world came to be. Each person in this book has a short & easy to read biography. Any words that might be a challenge to young readers are defined right on the page. The illustrations are fun & help kids stay engaged to the story. This book can be used for pure enjoyment or an add on to curriculum. A list of Master Books curriculum that would be good to use this book with is included.

This book features ten different scientists and inventors. It shares about their lives and their character, while keeping a biblical perspective. It also includes a glossary in the back and little side notes with-in the stories to explain words that might be unfamiliar to students. The stories are around ten pages each and work well for independent reading or read alouds. A great way to add a little science and character to your homeschool.

This is an excellent resource to learn about historical scientists and inventors. I appreciate how the author takes time to share details about each person's life that may not otherwise be known. I also like how throughout each chapter as new terminology is introduced, there is a side bar that defines the words so one can stay engaged with the reading and not wonder what something means. Having spent much time in the Outer Banks, NC, the account about the Wright Brothers was really neat to hear about, especially how their upbringing helped inspire them to what they achieved as adults. This type of information can certainly inspire young minds today to be creative! Overall the book is written in such a way that it keeps the reader engaged and wanting to learn more!

Inventors & Scientists is an excellent book to have on your bookshelf at home. My kids love all things history. And I love that I can offer them a book that is appropriate and at their age-level. A book that they can pick up and read on their own. The biographies are easy to read AND easy to understand.

Included in this book are 10 biographies about notable inventors and scientists in our history. You will read about their childhood into adulthood and how they were able to use their God-given abilities to make a change to better our world.

I appreciate the vocabulary words that are given throughout this book. It can be used as a stand-alone to dig into the lives of these scientists and inventors OR you can incorporate it into your other studies by using the amazing resource at the end of the book that lists corresponding curriculum. We are going through America’s Story right now and I love that we will be able to use this book to dig deeper into the lives of the notable men included in this book.

This is such a great addition to our morning basket! The biography of each inventor and scientist is relatively short, but filled with so many interesting details. This is a book that we really enjoy reading aloud and discussing, but my kids also enjoy reading on their own. The text is written in a conversational tone and is easy and enjoyable to read. The subtitles and pictures add to the enjoyment. We really enjoy having books like this around the house, and I’m glad to see MB offering more like this!
