Even if you weren't someone who got excited about science class in school, now—as an adult—it's hard not to be amazed by science. Did you know that a fully grown adult has 206 bones in their body, whereas a newborn baby has 300 bones? This is because some of these bones fuse together as the baby grows. How about the fact that it is believed there are about 100 billion galaxies like the Milky Way in the observable universe? The possibility that there are habitable Earth-like planets out there does not seem too farfetched!
In this tricky science quiz, you can expect a few easy questions and many more that will make you second-guess yourself. If you want to learn more about science or challenge yourself in the realm of science, this is just the quiz for you. Get a coffee and a snack if you like, and let's get cracking!
