  Advice from the MuseumTour expert:
Our staff highly recommends this enlightening series. It shifts the focus of historically male-dominated subjects to a female perspective, making these topics accessible and pertinent to girls. Includes hands-on activities, entertaining storylines and informative interviews with women in the cutting-edge sciences.
Math, Science and Technology are for girls too!

The Science Book for Girls - 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 Math Book for Girls ~ Kids can learn why fractions are important when they bake a cake; develop spatial visualization skills by building a geodesic dome big enough to play in; use geometry to design unique wrapping paper; discover how grids simplify drawing pictures; and much more.

The Technology Book for Girls ~ Looks at technology that girls encounter every day, such as CD players, microwave ovens and touchscreens. Filled with fun, easy-to-do activities, it encourages girls to experiment and explore. They are also introduced to eight women who work in exciting technological careers, including an astronomer, a radio frequency inspector and a plant physiologist.

Set of 3 paperback, full-color books, 80 pages.

These books are terrific, but I would say that the appropriate age group should be 8-11. In my opinion, these books are a little beneath the intelligence level of a middleschooler.
