- Reading
- Read a topic at a time and pause to ask what is real, what is a comparison, and what the science explains. Use the quiz afterwards to revisit ideas together.
- Themes
- Science through superpowers: The book connects imagined superpowers with scientific subjects such as robotics, genetics, animal DNA and gadgets. Its stated approach is informational: it uses the superpower idea to introduce science topics and includes a quiz to revisit learning.
- Worth knowing
- Some examples concern biological variation, including a rare gene associated with very strong bones. You could distinguish real biological traits from the imaginative language of superpowers as you read.
