Amazing!!!
Published by Author Jenn , 4 months ago
This book is an absolutely amazingly educational! Curie and Meitner were way beyond their time. This book is easy to read and gives a great understanding of the science that Curie and Meitner worked on. I loved that it added historical education beyond science. I'm a home school mom and my 6th & 4th grader will be reading it for the 24/25 school year. I even created questions to go along with the book. This one maybe a permanent book shelf book.
