Mary has always wanted to win a Nobel Prize. She loves running her own science experiments at home. But how can she become a real scientist and win the greatest prize of all? One day Mary stumbles on a secret meeting of Nobel Prize winners. Swearing her to secrecy, Professor Barry Marshall agrees to be her guide as she travels around the world and through time to learn the secrets behind some of the most fascinating and important scientific discoveries.
They talk space and time with Albert Einstein, radiation with Marie Curie, DNA with Crick, Watson and Wilkins and much more. Join Mary on her time-travel adventure and do your own experiments along the way! How to Win a Nobel Prize is a funny, fascinating adventure story for ages 9 to 12, and includes experiments that young scientists can do themselves at school or at home.
A fantastic new book that combines fact with fiction in a time travelling adventure. Mary meets 12 amazing Nobel Prize winners as she travels back in time with Dr Barry Marshall to find out what they did to make them so special and the secrets behind their research and scientific discoveries. I love that this book tells a story that engages readers but also includes fun bites of information plus experiments to perform at home. Something a bit different for our young Boffins.
