Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff
Released: January 9, 2018
Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff is a whirlwind tour through the astounding, record-breaking world (and universe) around us, with an intro from TV science educator and author Science Bob. Packed with spectacular superlatives, shocking stats, fantastic facts and fun figures, Science & Stuff celebrates the simple joy in finding things out. It tackles the big questions that keep people up at night, such as:
Can you belch in space?
What does woolly mammoth taste like?
How much would the Death Star cost?
Is the answer to this question no?Join us as we rise from the depths of the ocean, home to vampire squids from hell, to the dizzy heights of the International Space Station, where scientists unravel the secrets of (pooping in) zero-g. On the way we stop to talk with some of the men and women who are out in the world finding answers and making stuff. Ever wanted to know what it’s like to ride a motorized toilet at highway speeds, command a swarm of tiny robots or spend a year in space? Well, you’ll find your answers in here.
And that’s not all – have a go at ten record-breaking science experiments in the special Make & Break section. Our very own mad professor, Burnaby Q Orbax, and his trusty lab assistant Sweet Pepper Klopek, guide you through at-home challenges, from the greatest height to drop an egg without it breaking to the farthest distance by a Mentos and soda car. It’s gonna get messy!
Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff – the grossest, smelliest, weirdest and noisiest guide to, well, science… and stuff.
My boys have loved the Guinness books ever since they were little. When they were younger, we would read page after page of facts and records, now they sit and absorb the book themselves. What is great is you can read a little here or there and never be lost, perfect for my reluctant readers. I’ll take any reading I can get! This newest book features tons more records being broken but with a twist. The middle of the book features a Make & Break section that shows kids what they need and how to break a record. For example, there is a page on Static Balloons, Marshmallow Catapult and a Rubber-Band Car. All the activities seem relatively easy and you will definitely have the materials on hand for a few right off the bat. This would make a great book for any curious child who likes to be hands-on!
BUY IT: Look for Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
