Scientists Who Made History Pack x 3 Pack

Meet the people who shook the world with science! Being a brilliant scientist doesn’t have to be about sitting in a lab all day. The scientists in this series not only did amazing work; they led pretty amazing lives as well. Now it’s time to take a look at three key scientists who took their work way beyond the lab. There’s Charles Darwin, whose voyages to Australia and South America helped him form the mind-blowing theory of evolution. Then there’s Dian Fossey, who went all the way to Rwanda in Africa to study and protect gorillas, but ended up dying a violent death. Plus: Isaac Newton. You probably know about his apple, but what about his turbulent life? Plague, poachers and giant tortoises! Science, boring? NOT!
