Designed for inquisitive readers aged 9-12, it condenses biology, chemistry, and physics into clear, engaging spreads packed with cutaways, infographics, and expert-checked facts.

About the Book
This 208-page hardback encyclopedia takes young scientists on a journey from the tiniest atoms to the vast forces that shape the universe. Rather than relying solely on photography, DK's team have used ground-breaking computer-generated imagery to construct detailed cross-sections and cutaways, showing readers exactly how machines, organisms, and natural phenomena work beneath the surface. Topics range from mixtures and metamorphosis to friction, flight, DNA structure, and the technology inside a smartphone, giving children a genuinely comprehensive grounding in core science topics from the school curriculum. Each spread combines punchy explanatory text with charts, timelines, and fact boxes, making the book equally useful for dipping in and out of or reading cover to cover. Content is reviewed by subject specialists, so families and educators can trust every entry, while the clear layout and vivid visuals keep even reluctant readers engaged. Structured in manageable, self-contained sections, children can pause, ask questions, and return to favourite topics again and again — ideal for homework, bedtime reading, or simply as a stunning addition to a family bookshelf.
