Weird Science and Animal Facts Your Kid Will Enjoy - Lifehacker
The other day, my son had to come up with some questions about space for a science class assignment. His favorite, and rightfully so, was: Why does the sun look yellow, but stars that are farther away look white? One of the best things about being a parent is seeing the world in a fresh way through our kids’ eyes, as they process and ponder things we adults don’t even notice anymore.
Kids are curious creatures who delight in asking oddball questions and learning funny, weird, or gross facts about the world around them. And for that reason, it’s always good to arm yourself with a few lesser-known bizarro science facts to keep on hand for the next time you’re on a video chat with your nephew or your best friend’s daughter and need something to spice up the conversation.
So I found 25 of them for you. Granted, I’m not scientist, but I did my best to verify that these are all true.
