Quantum Physics for Babies: 1 (Baby University)

Product Information

This article examines three board books which present scientific knowledge in a context for babies and toddlers. Although children’s science books have existed for generations explaining basic concepts and animal-habitat identification among other things, these board books are the start of a recent movement which presents sophisticated concepts such as Quantum Physics. But are these quirky books actually for toddlers, or for the parodic amusement of science-minded adults? Based on considerations of the cognitive requirements of science, use of picture books in acquisition of literacy, analysis of visual and linguistic design elements, accuracy of information, and the pre-science and future-looking potential of these books I argue that the ostensible purpose lies in encouraging young audiences toward science as they mature.

where to find my books?

Like the other science series for babies by Chris Ferrie, this book is quirky, full of little balls of all sorts, and attempts to explain some seriously difficult theories/ concepts/ scientific terminologies using ridiculously simple sentences aim at young kids. The title is misleading: this book is definitely not for babies. 2 year old little-AJ doesn't like it. The balls make no sense to him, and the words used in this book are unheard of. But mummy loves it, although mummy has many questions that she wishes to ask (but left without answers) after reading this (which might be the whole purpose of this book: triggering passion for a subject and encouraging more questions).

Canadian friends! You can find the books online at chapters.indigo.ca or in all great bookshops nationwide! I don't see how the authors can make this book simpler than what it already is. I wish someone can be there to answer those silly questions of mine, but well done to the efforts of making a "dummies" version of quantum computing for both children and adult "dummies".urn:oclc:record:970392886 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier quantumphysicsfo0000ferr_q4j7 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2g6bf11dz8 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781492656227
