Swanson, Diane. (2001). Nibbling on Einstein’s brain: The good, the bad, and the bogus in science. Illustrated by Francis Blake. Toronto, ON: Annick Press.
While there is a tremendous amount of good and bad science, students learn to distinguish between the two. In order to reach a sound conclusion, one has to go through the steps of “scientific method”. Designing a question, developing and testing theories, and finally analyzing those theories, is not enough. Good science happens only when those steps are performed multiple times by the scientist and other researchers. The real-world examples provoke critical thinking in the young scientists. This informational book focuses on facts and information (p.272).
