Science explained through a visual encyclopedia

This second edition ranges across physics, chemistry, biology, space exploration, technology, wildlife, and the human body. Its reference-style mix of explanations, facts, charts, timelines, photographs, and detailed 3D imagery connects scientific ideas with examples from the world around us—from how ships float to the workings of everyday electronics. The coverage also moves between scales, looking inside a cell or a water molecule and outward to the Solar System. Vehicles and their record-breaking forms add another strand to the collection, making this a broad survey rather than a book devoted to one branch of science.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 9 and up exploring science topics independently
  • Young readers who enjoy visual reference books with diagrams, photographs, and facts
  • Families seeking a wide-ranging science encyclopedia for children

Book overview

DK's best-selling richly illustrated encyclopedia series explores the wonderful world of science.

Learn the ins and outs of science as you've never seen it before, through incredibly detailed 3D illustrations, in this encyclopedia for children aged 9+.

Knowledge Encyclopedia's clear explanations, illustrations, photographs, and 3D images will engage children in complex subjects. Learn about hundreds of vehicles that float, fly, or speed across the land, including the record breakers--the fastest, largest, longest, and strangest modes of transportation ever to zoom, sail, or soar.

This all-encompassing science encyclopedia for kids offers:


  • An impressive collection of facts, charts, timelines, and illustrations.
  • A visual approach using illustrations, photographs, and extremely detailed 3D CGI images.
  • Clear explanations of physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as space exploration, the latest technology, wonderful wildlife, and our amazing bodies.


Children can explore science in a new and exciting way. Learn about groundbreaking topics like looking inside a cell, pulling apart the ever-present electronics in our lives to see how they work, showing how ships stay afloat, and examining the forces that hold the Universe together.

This impressively detailed encyclopedia uses awesome illustrations to show biology, chemistry, and physics in the world around us. All the essential information in easy-to-read text with additional fun facts, and brought to life with amazing 3D illustrations that look inside the anatomy of a blue whale, zoom into a molecule of water, and out of the Solar System.
