Curiosity stirs the soul of every human. Who has not wondered about how the human body works? Can a person drink too much water? How does gravity make things fall? From topics as varied as the Earth and atoms to sports and music, we all carry with us those questions we've always wanted answered but never knew whom to ask.Mysteries lurk in our bodies, our houses, the outdoors, in the sky above us, and the universe beyond us. Now, award-winning high school science teacher Larry Scheckel tackles 250 questions that help us to more clearly understand all of these mysteries. Scheckel perfected the art of explaining science topics not only as a science teacher for more than 38 years in his native Wisconsin, but also through writing a weekly column in his local paper, the "Tomah Journal," in which each week he'd field a question like those that are collected in this book.
