Explore the world's most significant, innovative and amazing discoveries
in association with the Science Museum in London.
What is a discovery? It's when you observe, learn, or explain something
for the first time--but not just anything. It's not like learning the
French word for "breakfast" or where the closest grocery store is. A
discovery isn't learning something that you didn't know. It's learning
something that no one knew but that was always there, waiting to be
found out.
Find out how, when and why vital discoveries took place, and learn more
about the people who made the breakthroughs. Learn how the principles
they discovered became the basis of inventions and other advances that
shaped our history and the way we live today. Find out about the
combination of inspiration and perspiration that helped pioneers piece
together an ever-deeper understanding of ourselves, our planet and the
universe around us.
Featuring more than 40 discoveries, from gravity to the circulation of
the blood, the Big Bang to the movement of subatomic particles, this
brilliant STEM-themed read will get kids interested in the fundamental
ideas and laws that make the world go round.
