Your chance to ask a wacky scientist the questions you’ve always wanted to
"Science Bob", also known as Bob Pflugfelder, is one the most famous science teachers in the USA – although nowadays, he does most of his lessons on TV and online rather than in a traditional classroom.
Since taking his career to astronomical heights, he’s made it his mission to get people as excited and inspired about science as he is – which means encouraging kids to stay curious and keep exploring the limitless realm of the subject, which is why he got involved with the new Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff book.
Science Bob is making his way to New York City in celebration of the new addition to Guinness World Record's 2018 collection, so now’s the chance to ask him your most bubbling science questions!
Simply comment on our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram posts and Science Bob will select a few to answer via Instagram Stories on 31 January at 3 PM EST.
Science & Stuff is packed with facts, figures and extremes from the world of science – as well as 10 incredible experiments for readers to try at home!
Science Bob has not only met the President of the United States at the White House Science Fair, but has achieved a Guinness World Records title himself for the Most ping pong balls launched in zero gravity - so he is the perfect person to teach others about the wonders of science.
Going back to when he was just a child, Science Bob says he has loved science for as long as he can remember.
He believes that every kid is a scientist at heart, having an innate inquisitiveness to explore, observe and learn about the world around them.
Science Bob’s career first began after he started posting scientific video demonstrations on YouTube.
After being asked by a producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform a few experiments on set, he quickly became a big name in the world of science.
Now, the passionate teacher lives by his motto, "random acts of science", which encourages people everywhere to educate themselves by performing science experiments at home or in the classroom.
Science & Stuff actually features a Make & Break section, which offers a handful of DIY experiments that can be tried with a friend using household objects.
As expected, Science Bob is a big fan of this particular chapter in the book:
Encouraging others to be more involved with Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff, Science Bob (who is featured in the intro of US editions!) is blasting into New York this Wednesday and Thursday to attempt interactive experiments and show off some of the grossest, smelliest, and weirdest science records in the new book.
