Girls in Science 8 title bundle

See all formats and editions

Nomad Press books in the Girls in Science series provide a comprehensive foundation about both a field of STEAM study and women who have contributed to it in meaningful ways.

Essential questions embedded within every chapter, QR codes linked to online primary sources, and language that's designed to encourage readers to connect prior knowledge to new information make these books an integrative reading experience that encourages further, student-led research.

Nomad's unique approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while encouraging them to be curious, creative, and critical thinkers. According to the National Foundation of Science, 66 percent of girls in fourth grade say they like STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), but only 18 percent of all college engineering majors are female.

Why do so many girls turn away from science? One reason is persistent stereotypes and another is a lack of role models.

Nomad Press books in the Girls in Science series supply a bridge between girls' interests and their potential futures by investigating science careers and introducing women who have succeeded in science. The 8 titles in this bundle include: Technology: Cool Women Who Code; Astronomy: Cool Women in Space; Engineering: Cool Women Who Design; Forensics: Cool Women Who Investigate; Aviation: Cool Women Who Fly; Marine Biology: Cool Women Who Dive; Archaeology: Cool Women Who Dig and Zoology: Cool Women Who Work with Animals.
