Designed to celebrate our wonderful and diverse Scientists working in and for our community and environment, this reader aims to connect young children with the characters and see themselves as a Scientist through role play, identifying their own curiosities with facts and activities and hopefully aspiring to one day become a Scientist!

The book looks at the many different types of Scientists that work in all different settings, and introduces some of our South Aussie Scientists to find out what they do!
