Science Stumpers - Kevin Brougher - Bog

Children and adults can learn quite a lot from this fun-filled collection of bite-sized science mysteries. Each brain teaser-like Science Stumper consists of two pages. The first page provides the set-up, a mini-story that uses fictional characters to describe a set of events that often have counterintuitive results. Each set-up ends by inviting the reader to speculate on the mysterious outcome that, as it turns out, can be predicted and explained through an understanding of scientific principles. The following page gives the answer along with supplemental information that helps flesh out the reader's understanding. Science Stumpers contains well over 100 mini-mysteries and solutions.
