Fascinating Facts You Never Knew About All Things Science!

Everything you think you know will be proven wrong in this myth-busting guide to science, from chemistry to geology, engineering, astronomy and even technology. 

Science is all about figuring out how things work. It means asking questions and conducting experiments to discover and test possible answers. Science affects every aspect of life, from what you’re wearing and what you had for breakfast, to the weather outside.

Through science, you can examine the smallest atoms to the largest galaxies – and get to know the universe just a little bit better. But how much do you really know about science?

• Moons are smaller than their planet
• Summer is caused by Earth being closer to the Sun
• Water is an element 
• Tectonic plates don't move that much anymore 
• AND that engineers are people who fix things 

Do we . ? Because . OH NO THEY AREN'T!
