Ada Twist Scientist is a part of the popular Questioneers series by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts. This companion guide is a “mini deep dive” style and is packed with activities related to the book that cover history, science, science experiments and labs, art, language arts, and more. You’ll discover more about the women in STEM who inspired Ada’s name (Ada Lovelace and Marie Curie) and explore a collection of fun science experiments, math tricks, poetry, and art.

Geared to 8-12 year olds but with homeschooling you can always add more support for younger children and expect more from older kids :)
