Sure a lot of kids want to grow up to be astronauts, but according to scientist Glenn Murphy, even MORE kids want to know what happens to astronaut farts. (Short answer: Not good things!)

This is another book where students just ask lots of questions they think of. they are random, but glenn goes over them, this would be a very funny book to read with your class.

This is a funny book for kids ages 8-14. It is full of fun facts about a variety of topics, mostly the human body and space. The way it is written makes kids (and adults) want to read more, all while answering silly questions - like why snot is green! While they may seem like silly questions to adults and to children, they are legitimate questions that kids would want the answers to! (

Why Is Snot Green is a funny book that takes common questions and explains them scientifically. This is a great book for middle school boys who are reluctant about science and reading. This book could be paired with various units of study to go deeper into questions that students often have and that would continue to peak students' interest.
