This DK book is jammed packed with interesting facts from: the human eye to telescopes, magnets to space, volcanic eruptions and rocket power.
The book includes two types of fact boxes. One fact box highlights, real world technology, like: how off-road vehicles use gravity and why farmers hire bee hives. The other type of fact box, is the experiment or activity box that illustrates the subject on the page. These 'try it out' boxes include fun activities like: 'Model intestines. You can make a model of the intestines using an old pair or tights, orange juice, crackers, a banana, and scissors.' or
'Make it rain indoors! This simple experiment shows how evaporation and condensation are at the heart of the water cycle.'
