Penny Norman, Ph.D.
Penny Norman, Ph.D. earned a doctoral degree in Biophysics from U.C. Berkeley.
She became involved with the development of primary grade science materials through volunteer work, which she began as her own children started school. During this process she became deeply concerned about the limited exposure of elementary age students to the physical sciences. Dr. Norman's concern has translated into a 25 year effort to test and revamp science materials for the primary grades. Her work with children developed into a product line initially under the auspices of grants from the National Science Foundation and the Franklin Foundation. Her published titles reflect Dr. Norman's extensive testing and involvement with children and teachers and her love and commitment to both.
The ScienceWiz® Books created by Dr. Penny Norman have received awards from Scientific American, LibraryWorks (Modern Library Award), Good Morning America, National Parenting Magazine, American Specialty Toy Retailers' Association, Creative Child Magazine and Woman's Day Magazine, to name but a few. The ScienceWiz line has also been covered by NPR radio on Science Friday and received accolades from the Women's Society of the IEEE to Wired Magazine.
