Did you know...? ¿ The average person accidentally eats 430 bugs each year of his life; ¿ If you could drive your car straight up, you would arrive in space in just over an hour; ¿ Giraffes often sleep for only 20 minutes in 24 hours; ¿ The world's smallest winged insect, the Tanzanian parasitic wasp, is smaller than the eye of a housefly. These and many such informative and fascinating facts fill up the pages of Terry O'Brien's Fun Facts: Science. The book covers a wide range of scientific information, which is presented lucidly in order to make learning a fun exercise for children.
