1000 WHYs About Science

A full-color visual encyclopedia for kids who want to know how everyday science really works.

Most kids' science books give a few experiments, some diagrams and long blocks of text. This book is different. It answers 1,000 real questions children actually ask about the science all around them. Every answer is numbered, short and clear, and each one comes with bright, full-color illustrations. Kids explore alongside Ada and her robot friend Bolt as they investigate the world.

Why does a doorknob sometimes zap your finger? Why do onions make you cry? Does a heavy rock fall faster than a pebble? Why does rubbing a balloon on your hair make it stick to the wall? How does a microwave actually heat your food?

It's designed for curious readers ages 6 to 10 who want to understand why things happen, not just memorize facts.

Inside, kids will explore 12 big worlds of science:

The Sky and the Weather: sunsets, clouds, rain, snow, fog, thunder, lightning, hailstones, and snowflakes

Water, Ice and Steam: why ice floats, why the sea doesn't freeze, and why hot water sometimes freezes faster

Light and Colour: rainbows, mirrors, glowing cat eyes, bent straws, and the speed of light

Sound and Hearing: echoes, silent space, dog-whistle hearing, and why your recorded voice sounds weird

Heat, Cold and Fire: what fire is made of, thermos flasks, breath on cold days, and lightning-bolt temperatures

Electricity: static shocks, batteries, light bulbs, power stations, and what happens inside a wire

Magnets: compasses, invisible fields, fridge magnets, and animals with built-in navigation

Gravity and Why Things Fall: the Moon's orbit, your weight on the Moon, and a hammer vs. a feather

Materials and What Things Are Made Of: floating boats, see-through glass, stretchy rubber, and diamonds

Chemistry in the Kitchen: rising bread, melting chocolate, browning apples, foaming pasta water, and eggs

Machines in Your House: fridges, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, toasters, smoke alarms, and chargers

Your Body Meets Physics: floating in the pool, skeleton levers, and rollercoaster loops

Each answer is written in simple, age-appropriate language. It's clear enough for younger readers and packed with enough surprises to keep older kids hooked.

This is not a dense science textbook. It is not a plain fact list. It's a colorful journey through the science hiding in your kitchen, your home, the sky above and your own body.

Perfect for:

• Curious kids ages 4 to 12
