Description
Award-winning science writer Polly Owen brings together a compendium of the most disgusting and world changing discoveries in the history of science. So many of the best ideas in the history of innovation and scientific progress have started with something disgusting or bizarre. Taking its lead from the internationally successful tone of Darwin's Super-Pooping Worm Spectacular, children will meet 30 scientists who have found inspiration in the disgusting or bizarre. This is a perfect way to get children learning while laughing, and encourage creative thinking in a climate where science in school is so often viewed as a non-creative subject. These scientists have all thought outside the box and been lead down yucky paths in the pursuit of their greatest discoveries.
