Kids love fun facts that make them say wow! At Curious Mindz we believe that weird science facts are the best way to spark curiosity and make learning unforgettable. Here are some of the weirdest science facts that will amaze kids and inspire their love for science.
1. Bananas are slightly radioactive
Bananas have potassium which gives off a tiny amount of radiation. Do not worry though because you would need to eat about 10 million bananas at once to feel anything. It is a funny and safe way to introduce kids to the idea of natural radiation.
2. Water can freeze and boil at the same time
This strange phenomenon is called the triple point. It happens when temperature and pressure are just right. It shows how amazing and unexpected science can be.
3. An octopus has three hearts
Octopuses are full of surprises. Two of their hearts pump blood to the gills and one heart pumps blood to the rest of the body. Even more amazing their blood is blue instead of red.
4. A metal that melts in your hand
Gallium looks like silver but it can melt if you hold it because it melts at just above room temperature. It feels like magic and shows how different elements behave.
5. There is a diamond planet
Far away in space there is a planet called 55 Cancri e that scientists believe is made mostly of diamonds. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale but it is real.
6. Honey never goes bad
Honey can stay good for thousands of years. Scientists found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are still safe to eat today. It is a tasty fact that teaches kids about the power of nature.
7. Your body glows but you cannot see it
Humans naturally give off a very small amount of light. It is called bioluminescence but it is so faint that our eyes cannot see it. This amazing fact shows how much more there is to discover about our bodies.
