What's Science? (Discoveries and Inventions)

Part of the innovatively educational Discoveries and Inventions series that sets out to explain the who, where, why and how of STEM disciplines, Frances Durkin’s What’s Science? is fact-filled non-fiction at its freshest.

Through focussing on thirteen seminal scientific discoveries that transformed the world as we knew it — often in unforeseen ways — it’s a lively fusion of narrative and science, illustrated and designed in a manner that maximises engagement.

Covering the discovery of the likes of fire, gravity, DNA and atomic energy, plus the big bang, immunisation, evolution and radiation, readers will come away with insights into how each discovery was made, and its impact on humanity and the world. What’s more, each entry has a “take it further” suggestion that will spark off-the-page exploration. As such, it’s great for the classroom, and at home.
