Why you and your father are the only ones in your family who are left-handed? What makes some stars brighter than others? Are you curious why your shadow is sometimes in front of you and at other times in back of you? How do we breathe? Why do clouds change shape? How do mealworms transform into beetles? Have you ever seen 100 birds sitting on the branches of a tree? All of a sudden you hear a noise and all the birds fly into the air at once in a V-formation. Did you every wonder why? Why do some leaves fall off the trees in the fall while some are green all year? Which chewing gum keeps its flavor the longest? Which cereal gets soggy the quickest?
