Why does soap wash away grease? Why does a stretched rubber band feel warm? Where do bubbles get their shapes?
The questions do not always come from somewhere extraordinary. Sometimes they come from washing hands, opening a fizzy drink or watching a mirror mist over. You want to respond to that spark of interest, but ordinary things can hide surprisingly complicated answers. This book helps you find a way into them.
You don’t need to know every answer to help your child discover something wonderful.
Join Ayden and Aysha as they investigate the small mysteries hidden in familiar routines and objects, discovering science in places children already know. With 60 illustrated lessons, each beginning with a question, Everyday Mysteries gives curious children aged 6 to 11 clear explanations and surprising Fun Facts about light, water, bubbles, smells, everyday materials and our senses, and gives parents somewhere to begin.
Read one question together. Follow the conversation wherever it leads. Younger children can enjoy listening and asking more questions; confident readers can explore for themselves.
With a lesson index and four vocabulary pages, it’s easy to return to a favourite discovery or find the words for a new one.
Book 23 of 25 in the Ayden and Aysha Discover the World collection, created by Monalisa.
For the little questions that make an ordinary day more interesting.
