Qui a vraiment découvert l'Amérique? Christophe Colomb? Des détectives, des scientifiques et des historiens ont effectué des recherches afin de découvrir qui est vraiment arrivé en premier. Ils ont retenu ces quelques hypothèses : Des marins chinois, qui ont navigué jusqu'en Amérique en 1421 dans d'énormes navires qu'ils appelaient des « dragons nageurs »; Des Vikings du Groenland, qui ont débarqué à Terre Neuve vers l'an 1000; Un moine irlandais, qui a bravé les eaux tumultueuses de l'Atlantique dans un petit bateau de cuir quelque 400 ans avant les Vikings; Des autochtones chassant le mammouth, qui se sont établi en Amérique du Nord il y a environ 11 500 ans. Qui a découvert l'Amérique? invite les jeunes à remonter dans le temps jusqu'à la préhistoire. En route, ils rencontreront diverses personnes qui ont contribué à élucider le mystère de la découverte, incluant un cow-boy du Nouveau-Mexique, un adolescent collectionneur de pointes de flèches et un squelette vieux de 9000 ans qui en a long à dire.

Science, Nature & How It Works

Kids Can Press

Studies show that many girls' interest in science falls off during the preteen years. In an effort to keep girls tuned in to science, this book demonstrates that science is fun --- and that it is for girls. In this title in the Books for Girls series, lively text and illustrations help kids investigate what makes their toast turn brown in the morning and why their stomachs rumble. They'll find out how to collect and compare snowflakes, discover how genetics relates to family traits and much more. With brain teasers, puzzles and experiments in astronomy, physics, zoology, botany, geology and chemistry, The Science Book for Girls will help build science skills and confidence, as well as introduce readers to women who have exciting careers in science. With a distinctly female slant, this stimulating book gives girls a positive and non-threatening look at science and science careers --- although there's nothing stopping ?other intelligent beings? from taking a peek, too!
