(4) 4-6 Science Quest series. Beginning with Gregor Mendel and continuing to the present, Phelan writes about the scientists who discovered DNA and its structure. The brief text does not treat the subject in depth, telling more about the researchers' partnerships and rivalries than about DNA itself. The clean design includes many photos and scientific models. A running timeline helps provide historical context. Websites. Glos., ind.
