Grab your gloves and your lab coat and prepare to explore chemistry, zoology, botany and astronomy in this ultimate science showdown. Did you know that Planet Earth is bigger than Mars? Or that you brushed your teeth with a chemical element this morning? Can you name a plant that eats insects? How about an animal that is louder than a jet engine? In Bigger Than This, the four suits have been replaced by four different fields of science – chemistry, zoology, botany and astronomy. Collect cards by asking your opponents for cards that are either bigger than or smaller than one of the science elements in your hand. If your opponent can’t satisfy your request, you’ll win the round. Keep an eye out for the eight wildcards that will cause a malfunction in the lab – they really throw a spanner in the works!

Readers are taken on an imaginary space mission to explore the far side of the Moon for the first time in human history. In this adventure into deep space, readers will be the first astronauts to set foot on the far side of the Moon, where the light is low, temperatures are extreme and the surface is pitted with craters that are so deep they have never been exposed to sunlight. What lies within may reveal incredible secrets about our universe, and provide a stepping stone to Mars and beyond... Illustrated in a dreamy science-fiction style, Explore the Far Side of the Moon places readers in the moon boots of a mission specialist, appointed to undertake the first crewed mission to the far side of the Moon in human history. With an introduction by planetary scientist Dr Sheila Kanani, the book starts by introducing the reader to their fellow crew members, providing guidance on what to pack, what to wear and how to prepare a space rocket for lift-off (not to mention an all-important briefing on how to go to the toilet in zero gravity). From there, readers will discover how to enter lunar orbit and dock at the brand new lunar space station where they'll be stationed. Mission specialists will then strike out alone to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface, and embark on their exploration of the Lunar South Pole. Published in anticipation of NASA’s launch of Artemis III, which will take the first woman and first person of colour to the Moon, the book will feed off the excitement of a new era of lunar missions.

Discover how engineering is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Engineering – Civil Engineering.Engineering is all around us, from the roads on which we travel to the latest earthquake-proof buildings. It's even in space! Discover how civil and mechanical engineering helps us interact with society, see how engineering is helping to save the environment, and meet the inspirational engineers whose designs make our lives easier, including Roma Agrawal, Reyhan Jamalova, Sarah Guppy and David Aguilar. A "try this at home" section shows readers how to create a building made out of spaghetti, plus much more.With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Jenny Jacoby and lots of colourful artworks, photos and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter engineering and why it’s even important at all.The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering and maths in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can’t promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.
