Resumen del editor
It takes seven years to digest swallowed gum. A penny placed on a train track can cause a train to derail. The average human consumes four spiders per year while sleeping. You may have heard some of these common sayings or beliefs before. But are they really true? Can they be proven using science? Let’s investigate 17 statements about familiar items and everyday events and find out which ones are right, which ones are wrong, and which ones still stump scientists! Find out whether eggs will really stand on their ends during the vernal equinox! Discover whether it’s true that you can swing 360 degrees on a swing set! See if you can tell the difference between fact and fiction!
Please note: The original source audio for this production includes noise/volume issues. This is the best available audio from the publisher.
Reseñas de la crítica
"Science and mathematics don’t come in a much slyer package... This is a rare sort of book that will add pizzazz to science classes, yet remains viable general-interest reading on its own." (Booklist)
"Can you fry an egg on the sidewalk? Can you fly using helium-filled balloons? Separate fact from fiction with this book. It provides easy-to-understand scientific explanations to these and other pressing questions." (Learning)
