Gross Science of Fungus and Mold
From the Series Awesome, Disgusting Science
Slimy, hairy, and stinky, fungus and mold thrive in disgusting places. While researching them can be repulsive, scientists are discovering their benefits. Imagine a shirt that repairs holes or a house that grows into any shape you want. Featuring the latest scientific research, this humorous hi-lo book dives into the gross and weird findings about these organisms.
Witty text sparks interest in STEM for reluctant readers, while fun facts, career features, and critical thinking questions deepen their understanding. Plus, a table of contents, glossary with pronunciations, further resources, and an index enhance comprehension.
