Myths Busted! 3: Just When You Thought You Knew What You Knew
This third installment in the National Geographic Kids Myths Busted series challenges everything you thought you knew. Written by Emily Krieger, this paperback delivers science-backed facts that debunk common misconceptions, superstitions, and everyday myths that kids and adults hear constantly.
What's Inside
Think boys are naturally better at math? The research says otherwise. Believe an apple-a-day keeps the doctor away? You'll learn why oranges deserve equal credit. Convinced humans evolved directly from chimpanzees? The actual science might surprise you. This book tackles these topics and dozens more with engaging, fact-checked information that makes learning irresistible.
Perfect for Young Critical Thinkers
Designed for readers ages 9-12, Myths Busted! 3 encourages critical thinking skills while exploring science facts across multiple subjects. From biology and human evolution to health myths and mathematical abilities, each page presents well-researched information that helps tweens distinguish fact from fiction. The accessible writing style transforms complex scientific concepts into entertaining trivia that kids actually want to read.

This third book continues the tradition of combining educational content with humor and curiosity-driven exploration that made the series a favorite among teachers, parents, and young readers.
