Atoms are amazing. Despite being literally the tiniest things that exist, they can dematerialize, travel through time, and make the biggest explosions in the world. This funny book, full of astonishing facts, includes the history of atomic science right up to today's discoveries about quantum physics. Potato friends Russ, Yammy and Anna Tater will act as guides to our junior nuclear scientists — the readers!
Science, technology, engineering and math (commonly known as STEM) are everywhere around us — look carefully and you'll see many examples. Science Everywhere! is a fun series of books focusing on STEM concepts, and these books come with a huge dollop of corny humour! Each book will enthrall young readers with the laugh-out-loud antics of Yammy and Russ, who promise a mashing good time as they dig into the world of science.
