Science is more than a topic—it is an adventure filled with discoveries, questions, and wonder. From the tiniest organisms to the largest galaxies, science has no boundaries. At The Notebook School, we believe in supporting young minds with fun facts, amazing stories from the world of science, and hands-on-learning experiences that provide opportunities for joyous learning.
To fuel your child's imagination and inquisitiveness, here are 15 fun facts about science for students and parents that are sure to be amazed; perfectly designed for morning assemblies, class conversations, and expanding your child's general knowledge (GK facts).
15 Fun & Fascinating Science Facts for Students
1. Water Can Boil and Freeze at the Same Time
Yes! This crazy thing is called the triple point and is a point where temperature and pressure are just right for water to coexist in all three states-solid, liquid, and gas.
2. You Have More Bacterial Cells Than Human Cells
Your body has about 30 trillion human cells and about 39 trillion microbial cells. This is a pretty crazy fact about human biology!
3. A Day on Venus is Longer than a Year
This is one of the most outrageous facts about astronomy. Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate completely on its axis, while it only takes 225 Earth days to orbit around the sun.
4. Lightning Is Hotter Than the Surface of the Sun
A bolt of lightning reaches temperatures up to 30,000 Kelvin- 5 times hotter than the Sun's surface. This fact is electrifying!
5. The Eiffel Tower Gets Taller in Summer
The Eiffel tower can grow about 6-inches because of thermal expansion during hot summer months.
6. Octopuses Have Three Hearts and Blue Blood
Two hearts pump blood to the gills while the other pumps blood to the rest of the body. Their blood is blue because of a copper-rich protein, hemocyanin.
7. Space Isn’t Completely Silent
Although sound does not travel in space, some special instruments can measure electromagnetic vibrations and translate them into audio. Some of these amazing science facts will motivate future astronauts!
8. Bananas Are Radioactive
Bananas contain potassium-40, which is a radioisotope! This isotope is harmless in small amounts, but it is still one of the coolest science facts!
9. Sharks Existed Before Trees
Sharks have been around on this planet for 400 million years, while trees did not show up until about 350 million years ago. This is an astonishing fact about history and biology!
10. You Can Hear the Difference Between Hot and Cold Water
Hot water molecules move faster, which creates a slightly higher pitch sound. This is a fun experiment, and you can do it at home!
11. Some Metals Explode When They Touch Water
Some metals such as sodium and potassium, explode violently when they come in contact with water, and combine with it. Chemistry students will have a blast with this explosive physical fact!
12. The Universe Has No Center
The Big Bang happened everywhere all at once. It is still expanding in all directions! This is a great fact about science and the universe.
13. Your Brain Can Power A Lightbulb
The human brain produces about 20 watts of electricity - which is enough to power a small light bulb.This is a great bio fact about you and your body!
14. Honey Never Spoils
There are tombs in Egypt with honey over 3,000 years old, and it is still edible. What a sweet piece of trivia to keep in the back of your mind!
15. Frogs Can Freeze and Then Thaw to Become Alive Again
Some frogs can literally freeze during the winter; and when spring arrives, they come back to life. What an amazing piece of trivia about nature and biology that feels like magic!
