Description

For curious young minds who ask why? how? what? when? and then why? again and again, the bestselling team behind Ada Twist, Scientist has developed a STEM project book based on the beloved character. Ada herself will take readers through the scientific method and introduce them to some of her favorite sciences, including chemistry, botany, astronomy, and environmental science. Budding scientists will solve everyday mysteries and come to think more critically about the world around them. Like Rosie's and Iggy's project books, Ada's will be empowering and kid-friendly, with tons of classroom and parent appeal. No kid's lab would be complete without it!

There are many kinds of scientists.

They study earth and sky,

plant and ocean, rock and star,

bug and butterfly.

And yet, they share the same pursuit:

To ask the question, Why?

THE STORY OF ada twist,

sciENTIST

Her frazzled parents did their best

to keep up with Ada as she explored

the world. They worried a little that

she did not speak even as she grew

older, but they could see that she

was always thinking and figured she

would start talking when she had

something to say.

Ada Marie Twist was a quiet but

curious baby. One day, she piled up

her stuffed bears and broke out of

her crib. Ada was on the go! She

tore through her room exploring

everything, and she didn t stop until

she conked out at night.

That s just what happened when

Ada turned three. She climbed to

the tip-top of the grandfather

clock to see what was there.

STOP! yelled her parents.

Ada stopped. Her chin quivered.

She took a deep breath. And for

the first time, Ada spoke.

Why? she asked.
That was it. Once Ada started asking questions,

she did not stop!

Why does it tick and why does it tock?

Why don t we call it a granddaughter clock?

Why are there pointy things stuck to a rose?

Why are there hairs up inside of your nose?

Why? What? How? When? She asked over and over

and over again! Ada wanted to know EVERYTHING.

As she drifted to sleep after a long day of questions,

her parents smiled and whispered,

You ll figure it out.

As Ada got older, her parents tried their best to help her find answers to

her many questions. Even Miss Lila Greer found that her hands were quite

full as Ada performed wonderful but rather messy experiments at school.

It was very clear that Ada Twist was a scientist.
She came up with hypothesis two:

The cat made the stink.

However, the cat needed some help making

such a big stink. Ada sprayed the cat with

her mother s fancy perfume and her father s

cologne. It made the cat stink, but it was not

the stink that made her toes curl. Hypothesis

two was proven wrong.

On the first day of spring, Ada was busy with

an experiment. She was testing the sounds that

make mockingbirds sing when-

ZOWIE!

a terrible stench whacked her in the nose!

What kind of stink could make her toes curl like

that? Ada Twist had to find out.

First, Ada researched smelling and smells.

Next, Ada came up with a hypothesis, an idea she

thought could explain the terrible stink. Ada wondered

if that horrifying stink came from her father s cabbage

stew. She tested her hypothesis, but she concluded

that the stew did not explain the terrible stink.
Ada needed to start again, but

first she had to clean the cat.

Ada Marie Twist started to do

something that nobody should

EVER do! She tried to give the cat

a bath in the washing machine.

It was a terrible idea! An awful

idea! A horrible idea! And boy,

did she get in trouble.

After that day, Ada s family got in the act of

helping young Ada sort fiction from fact. And

all her friends in grade two helped. Perhaps

one day, they will discover the source of that

terrible stink that curls toes!

So she sat and sat and sat. And she thought about

science and stink and the cat. And how experiments

made so much mess.

Ada wondered so many things. And then she wondered

once more what made that terrible stink. She scribbled

a thought on the wall. Then she scribbled another.

And another. And ANOTHER.

Her parents calmed down and came back to talk. They

looked at the hall, and they were shocked. Ada had

scribbled her questions and thoughts on the entire wall.

What would they do with this curious child who wanted

to know what the world was about?

They kissed her and whispered, We ll figure it out.

Ada collects all kinds of things for her scientific experiments.

Here are some things she finds useful. She calls these items her

SCIENTIST S TREASURE.

You might find them useful, too. What items would you include?

Measuring cups

Where can you find

SCIENTIST S Treasure

There are many places you can

find cool things to use in your

experiments.

RECYCLING: Cardboard boxes,

broken toys, juice cans, milk jugs,

plastic lids, and other things your

family might otherwise throw

away. Ask permission and make

sure they re clean and safe to use.

RUMMAGE SALES and THRIFT

STORES are great places to find

useful items inexpensively. Finding

a new use for something old keeps

it out of the landfill!

SWAP treasure with your

scientist friends.

If you can t find a recycled thing

to use, you might find something

at a HARDWARE STORE or a

FABRIC STORE.

AND BE CAREFUL WHEN

WORKING WITH SHARP TOOLS

OR BROKEN PIECES! MAKE SURE

AN ADULT IS ALWAYS NEARBY!

HERE ARE SOME TIPS:

Decorate and label empty shoeboxes to store under your bed or on a shelf.

Keep similar things together.

Small, clean glass jars with lids make great containers for tiny parts like screws

and bolts or supplies like rubber bands and string. Clear jars let you easily see

what you have!

A clear plastic shoe holder over the back of a door keeps things organized and

easily viewed.

Hang tools on hooks on a peg board from the hardware store.

Magnetic strips from the hardware store or sewing store can hold metal scissors

and other metal tools.

An empty can makes a great holder for tools. You can decorate the can.

Watch out for sharp edges! Wrap it in decorative paper and ribbon.

Keep your SCIENTIST S

TREASURE organized!

Treasure is all around. But not everything is a treasure.

Choose items that are safe, clean, and useful.

A good collection has variety and is well organized.

Organizing your tools and treasure . . .

keeps them in good shape, so they last longer.

lets you find what you need when you need it.

saves money, because you don t have to replace

things you already have.

keeps your space clean so you can conduct

experiments.

keeps your feet free of holes!
What special things will you add to

your

SCIENTIST S TREASURE

Always be safe when you

are conducting experiments.

Protect your eyes with

safety glasses.

A scientist is always careful!

Don t forget these!

Scientists use

special tools.

Scopes are tools that let scientists look at things more clearly. Telescopes show

us large things that are very far away. Microscopes show us very small things that

are close to us. Periscopes let submarines look around above the water.

Fill a bucket with water and toss in a variety of coins or small plastic toys.

How clearly can you see the items through the water? Water is often difficult to

see through because its surface reflects light and dist
