This is why "STEM education" is the latest buzz term and science literacy is enjoying a renewed focus. A foundation in basic science is key. With decades of scientific knowledge behind him and a genuine sense of fun in his approach, Jan Paul Schutten rewards curiosity with engaging explanations about some of the most complicated scientific issues that exist, and tells readers that there is much left to discover. For example: Why does the paramecium deserve a standing ovation? How do you build a planet? Does a tree want to be tall? How does a bacterium turn into a blue whale? How can you survive without a rear end? How can you yourself see evolution at work? Why would aliens most likely be meat-eaters? Are scientists not telling us everything?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Life (Biology) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Life $x Origin $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Evolution $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Discoveries in science $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637. 700 1 $a Rieder, Floor, $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Watkinson, Laura, $e translator. 941 $a 16 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611024232.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409023315.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314011935.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011142.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104013721.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092210.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228015637.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211029010128.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061419.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081301.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20190504015932.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20190201010820.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091657.0 952 $l ZMPA437 $d 20180830013645.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20160520014117.0 952 $l EWPB745 $d 20151014022209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E215AC6520111E5BF869D94DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
