Angie Smibert

Angie was born in Blacksburg, a once sleepy college town in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. She grew up thinking she wanted to be a veterinarian; organic chemistry had other ideas. But she always had stories in her head. Eventually, after a few degrees and few cool jobs—including a 10-year stint at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center—she wrote some of those stories down. A frequent contributor to Odyssey Magazine, Angie has published many, many short stories for both adults and teens.

STAY CURIOUS

Do you wonder how things work? When you look at a helicopter, do you wonder what parts make it fly? Can something be both a liquid and a solid? To find out the answers to questions like these, curious scientists do experiments.

Now it’s your turn to be a curious scientist. Get ready to use your creativity and get a little messy! You’ll experiment with magnetism, electricity, and gravity. You will bend water, get slimy, and more. The results of your experiments might just blow your mind!
