Books in STEM Milestones: Historic Inventions and Discoveries series

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a Polish-born Dutch physicist, maker of scientific instruments, and inventor of the alcohol and mercury thermometers, developed the Fahrenheit temperature scale commonly used in the United States. Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, developed the Celsius temperature scale, also called the centigrade scale, which is used in most countries and for scientific purposes worldwide. This book explores the path these men took to develop their respective temperature scales and provides readers with biographical information about their lives. The addition of STEM concepts helps readers understand the science behind the development of these temperature scales.

Galileo has been referred to as the father of modern science. Even though he didn't invent the very first telescope, he did invent the first telescope that could see into space. This book features Galileo's process of altering the telescope, as well as the how STEM concepts helped him make his discoveries. Readers will learn about Galileo's early life and how his discoveries have affected the way we understand Earth's place in the solar system. Full-color photographs and informative fact boxes supplement the main text.

Charles Darwin made many significant contributions to the way we understand evolution and the origin of species. Descriptive examples of his theories on evolution and natural selection will help give young readers insight into the conclusions that scientists have made about how all livings things have evolved. A biographical look into Darwin's life shows readers how he came to form his revolutionary theories and the adventures he took to further validate his findings.
