Darwin and Evolution for Kids

His life and Ideas
by Kristan Lawson

Kristan Lawson offers kids an engaging account of Darwin’s life as she shows how a privileged and somewhat scatterbrained youth turned into a great scientist. Lawson also encourages kids to define the differences between theories and beliefs, facts and opinions, making her book a useful guide to critical thinking about scientific concepts. Kids can explore Darwin’s voyage and ideas through 21 activities, which include making fossils, keeping fieldnotes as a backyard naturalist, learning to tie ship’s knots, and going on a botanical treasure hunt. For ages 9 and up.
