\"Hidden<\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction and Summary<\/strong>
\nHidden Worlds: Looking Through a Scientist’s Microscope <\/a>,written by Stephen Kramer with photographs by Dennis Kunkel, is not only a book about the wonders of the microscopic world, but about the life of a scientist as well.\u00a0 The book has stunning photographs of microscopic views of all sorts of things, and with them are accounts of how Dennis uses microscopes to get a closer look at the world around him.\u00a0 It also tells a story of how he became a scientist, and gives information on how students can follow in his path<\/p>\n

Curriculum Connections<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book is a perfect way to teach kids about living systems, matter, and cell structures.\u00a0 The photography gives views of things that would be hard to come by in the classroom.\u00a0 There is quite a lot of text, so I would suggest the book for selected out-loud readings or for individual students to read on their own.<\/p>\n
