Lives of the Scientists by Kathleen Krull - OPTIONAL

Krull, Kathleen Lives of the Scientists: Experiments, Explosions (and what the neighbors thought), 95 p. Harcourt (Houghton), 2013.  $21.  Content: G. 

From the ancient to the modern, Krull and Hewitt look at the lives of 20 acclaimed scientists – and a bit about how their neighbors felt about them.  The biographies are very short – not enough to support a report on any one scientist.  However, the book could be used in a classroom project, with small groups of students looking at each entry.
