Big Ideas from Science

How scientific discoveries shape our lives

Science is all around us, helping to explain the ideas that matter in our life. By asking questions about how things work, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world and our place in it.

Big Ideas from Science introduces children to some of the most influential scientists throughout history, and the amazing scientific breakthroughs that have changed the way we live - from the discovery of bronze to the invention of the microscope. With engaging facts and playful illustrations, children are encouraged to follow their innate curiosity, to look at the world in different ways and to try and make sense of it.

The book shows us how science not only helps us invent incredible new technology, understand the structure of atoms or reach the moon, but can also help us with some of the most important questions in our lives: how can I become a wiser person, a better friend and a kinder, more compassionate human?

Also in the series: This is the fourth title in our best-selling Big Ideas series - a collection of books designed to help children reflect on life's most important questions. From philosophy to history and literature, each book offers young readers a calm, intelligent companion in their journey to understand the world, and themselves.
