Sssh, listen… what can you hear? From musical harmonies to sonic booms, discover the science of sound and how we hear things. Why is most of space completely silent? Why does a recording of your voice sound strange? And what do bats, dolphins and a boat full of scientists have in common? The answers are all in this book, with lots of flaps to lift and simple experiments to do at home.

All living things need water to survive. But what actually IS water, and WHY is it so special? Lift the flaps to discover the surprising science of water, then try some simple experiments to see it in action for yourself. You’ll find out how water shapeshifts, where it goes after it falls as rain, how it shapes landscapes, why too much or too little water can wreak havoc… AND how water can do magic tricks!
