Read an Excerpt!

During the late 1800s and early 1900s, a handful of chemists and physicists tirelessly worked to bring about a seismic shift in scientific knowledge. They wanted to prove that everything we are and everything we see is made up of miniscule parts, smaller than anything humans had ever imagined.

And at the forefront of this group of intrepid pioneers was an unlikely figure who defied convention to reset the way that scientists work, and who laid the foundations for the new field of atomic science.

Her name was Marie Skłodowska Curie (1867–1934).

Poems can be silly, serious, or fun, just like kids! Whether it’s the sing-song rhythm of a limerick, the serendipitous magic of a found poem, the deceptive simplicity of a haiku, or the easy familiarity of an acrostic poem, children are charmed by poetry. In Explore Poetry!

With 25 Great Projects children have fun learning about many different forms of poetry while delving into different literary techniques such as personification, metaphor, and alliteration.
