Reading Planet KS2 – Game-Changers: Super Scientists – Level 8: Supernova (Red+ band) 

Game Changers have the skills, courage and power to change the world!

They asked the questions and gathered the evidence that shaped our understanding of modern science. From Isaac Newton who established the laws of motion still used by engineers and scientists today, to Marie Curie, who won two Nobel prizes in recognition of her work on radiation and radioactivity, and Tu You You, the Chinese scientist who discovered a cure for malaria that has saved millions of lives.
