STAR REVIEW! Decoding Genes with Max Axiom, Super Scientist is a fun way for kids to learn about genetics in a comic-bookstyle story. The book accurately covers Mendel and his peas, heredity, the structure of genes, DNA mutations, genetic variation, and some of the diverse areas in which genetics is being used today. Having a “Super Scientist” with super powers, such as being able to shrink to the size of an atom and travel through space and time with the use of a special lab coat, as your tour guide makes this a creative and enjoyable way to learn the basics of genetics. The color illustrations allow the reader to visualize what genes are and how they work. The book lacks a real story line, so reading “more about Max Axiom” at the end of the book first might enable the reader to get the background story of the narrator. The information presented should help kids get excited about the “cool” things this Super Scientist is going to show them. In the classroom or at home, this book will be an excellent source for kids who are curious about science and genetics.
You never had a science teacher like this! Max Axiom is a super-cool super-scientist. Using powers he acquired in a freak accident. Max demonstrates and explains science in ways never before seen in the classroom. Whether shrinking down to size of an ant or riding on a sound wave, Max can do whatever it takes to make science super cool and accessible.
