Where Does It Go?: Farts, Fumes and Other Gases

A funny and fascinating look at states of matter and where things go - from fumes to burps - in the world around us! Explore the gases all around us and the journey they take from the oxygen you breathe and the gases in your home to how farts and burps form. Understand how too many cow burps are contributing to global warming and what is being done to limit them. From gases in your body through to gases in the street to the gases in the atmosphere that make the Northern and Southern Lights, this book takes you on a funny whirlwind journey through this essential state of matter and how they affect the environment. Where Does it Go? is a humorous science series aimed at 7-9 year olds about states of matter explored through the world around us - how they feature in our daily lives (including in our body) and where they end up! The fully colour illustrated spreads cover a wide range of fun and unusual facts which put the familiar and unseen things around us into context as we discover the journeys they make.
