A Question of Science: Can you hear sounds in space? And other questions about sound

Anna Claybourne

Formats & Editions

A fun, quirky science series that tackles the questions other books are afraid to ask!

Can you hear sounds in space? Which animal has the best hearing? And just how fast is a supersonic plane? A Question of Science: Sound answers all these questions and much more.

With an engaging question and answer format, these books draw kids into science in a fun way. Each book features one question per spread with a clear explanation to follow, diagrams and fun and humorous illustrations.

Perfect reading for curious young scientists aged 8 and up.
