Things Scientists Don't Know Yet: The Unsolved Mysteries of Science

About this book

This fascinating book sheds light on many questions that have puzzled scientists for a long time - and offers some possible solutions. Why are there so many beetles? Answer - they might just be great at not going extinct! Why do things keep evolving into crabs? Answer - perhaps their bodies are a great base for adapting to different environments. How big is the universe? Answer - it's still expanding, but it's at least 7 trillion light years across. Add in questions about time travel, aliens, earthquakes and why we laugh or have an appendix, and there's something to intrigue everyone. 

Also including information on experimenting, collecting and analysing data, and building on others' work, this is a great insight into how scientists think. It has colour illustrations and diagrams, making it appealing to a wide age range. This could inspire a budding scientist of the future.
