Description


Does the rotation of the Earth really make your day? Do you like to hear chemistry puns, periodically? Do you distrust atoms because they make up everything? Then this illustrated collection of hundreds of witty science jokes, puns, and silly fact-based zingers will brighten many cycles around the sun.

Science is great because it helps us understand the world around us through systematic and methodical experimentation, observation, and the testing of theories and weighing of evidence. Pretty Good Science Jokes proves incontrovertibly that it's also hilarious.
  • What kind of dog do chemists prefer? Laboratory retrievers.
  • Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? The food was out of this world, but there was no atmosphere.
  • What do plants eat between meals? Light snacks.
  • Why do biologists look forward to casual Fridays? They can wear their genes to work.

Gathering the best, most irresistibly corny, and slyly funny jokes from the fields of chemistry, biology, technology, physics, geology, astronomy, math, zoology, and more, this giftable hardcover collection sneaks scientific fact and insights into the basis of each humorous quip, making it a rewarding celebration for science lovers and a welcome invitation for the scientifically curious.

FOR STEM STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS:A fun and accessible way to introduce and reinforce scientific concepts through humor.

CORNY HUMOR, CLASSY PACKAGE: Okay, maybe chemistry jokes are like CObalt RadoN and Yttrium: CoRnY. But this nicely designed hardcover book is both humor-packed and highly giftable.

HUNDREDS OF JOKES! DOZENS OF ILLUSTRATIONS!: This delightful collection of 200+ jokes and puns is enhanced by funny color illustrations throughout by noted humor illustrator Johnny Sampson.

Perfect for:
  • Fans of dad jokes, puns, knock-knocks, riddles, and one-liners
  • Kids, teens, and adults interested in science
  • Educators, teachers, professors, librarians, and students looking for a fun and accessible way to explore scientific ideas and STEM curriculum
  • Anyone working in a scientific field
