NATURAL SCIENCE
DEADLY SCIENCE:
Deadly Science - Life Cycles, Australian Geographic, Corey Tutt
Every living thing on our planet experiences a life cycle. From fertilisation, to birth, through life and death, plants and animals undergo key stages of development. In this book, students explore the life cycles living things such as of insects, birds, whales and flowering plants and discover the environmental factors that can affect these processes.
Deadly Science - The Solar System, Australian Geographic, Corey Tutt
From planets made of gas, to stars made of fire, our vast Solar System is filled with mysteries still to be explored and solved. Did you know that the world’s first astronomers were Indigenous Australians over $35,000 years ago? These Australians were the first humans to closely observe and note the movement of the planet and stars in space. So, buckle up and get ready to navigate the nebulas and comets with us as we explore space and begin to unravel the intricacies of our little corner of the Milky Way.
The First Scientists, Corey Tutt
The First Scientists is the highly anticipated, illustrated science book from Corey Tutt of DeadlyScience. With kids aged 7 to 12 years in mind, this book will nourish readers’ love of science and develop their respect for Indigenous knowledge at the same time.
Have you ever wondered what the stars can tell us? Did you know the seasons can be predicted just by looking at subtle changes in nature? Maybe you have wondered about the origins of glue or if forensic science is possible without a crime scene investigation. Australia's First peoples have the longest continuing culture on Earth and their innovation will amaze you as you leaf through the pages of this book, learning fascinating facts and discovering the answers to life's questions.
In consultation with communities, Corey tells us of many deadly feats – from bush medicine to bush trackers – that are today considered 'science', and introduces us to many amazing scientists, both past and present. The breadth of ‘sciences’ is incredible with six main chapters covering astronomy, engineering, forensic science, chemistry, land management and ecology. The first scientists passed on the lessons of the land, sea and sky to the future scientists of today through stories, song and dance, and many of these lessons are now shared in this book.
Vibrant illustrations by Blak Douglas bring the subjects to life, so you’ll never think about science as just people in lab coats ever again!

Today the constant effects of shifting tectonic plates, eruptions, erosion, desertification, and climate change continue to re-shape and redefine our home. Inside of this book, you will find the tools, both modern and indigenous, to understand and navigate the difficulties ahead as we learn to live with Earth’s internal and powerful forces

8 Little Planets, Chris Ferrie, Lizzy Doyle
8 little planets with the sun at the center,
each one wishing it were a little bit better...
Old slow Neptune felt he was behind.
165 years to circle the sun is an awful long time.
But the 8th little planet didn't need to worry.
It spins on its axis in a really big hurry!

Liman (Harry Morgan), the author's grandfather, was a respected Wadjigany man — a leader amongst his people and the community. Liman was born at Manjimamany in the Northern Territory in 1916. He was a canoe maker, hunter, community mediator, and a family man who lived off the land and travelled the seas.
