Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue? Why are we always standing with our feet on the ground and not floating in the air? Have you ever wanted to know how vaccines work? Or what is out in space?

Scientists are people who have asked themselves those and thousands more questions. The difference with other people is that they dedicate their lives to investigating the answers to those questions. Being a scientist means asking why things happen. Doesn't that seem great to you?

In reality, scientists are little children trying to explain the world. That makes this profession one of the most important, because thanks to them and their discoveries, we understand what surrounds us better. And there is still a lot left to understand!

That is why, if you decide to color the scientist drawings, you will learn about the people who have marked history with their contributions to science, and not only that, you will also be able to practice your art a little more. What do you think? It's like killing two birds with one stone. Go for it! You'll see that you'll have fun.
