How Does a Farmer Use Science?

We all know that farmers work hard raising animals and growing vegetables and other crops, but did you know that farmers use LOTS of science to do their job? In this title for early readers, the Little Scientists visit a farm and learn how to take care of chickens and goats, how science is used to make cheese, how farmers keep bees to pollinate their apple trees and how farmers use high-tech computers in tractors to help them plough their fields. This colourful, quirky and delightful first look at the work of farmers will help young readers develop a love of reading and of science.
