How do we measure the universe? How do our bodies repair themselves when we are ill? What species will exist on Earth in a million years’ time?
Discover the answers to these questions and a lot more in The Great Australian Science Book. We’ll go on an incredible scientific journey from the very, very BIG to the very, very SMALL.
Starting with the universe itself, we will travel through the galaxies and stars, onto our very own planet Earth and across its fabulous features, into our wonderful bodies and all their cells, and on down to the very elements and atoms that make up all things.
Discover how Australia has made huge contributions to science and do a few experiments yourself as you learn to think like a scientist.
Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 8 to 14.
The Great Australian Science Book is an adaptation of The Great Irish Science Book (Gill Books, 2019).
