Description
Grades 9 to 12+
Ghosts. Telepathy. UFOs. Are they real—or is there another explanation? In Explaining the Paranormal, young readers explore the science behind strange experiences and mysterious claims. Drawing from thought-provoking articles in Scientific American, this collection examines how psychology, neuroscience, physics, and critical thinking can shed light on the seemingly unexplainable. From haunted houses to out-of-body experiences, this book challenges teens to ask questions, seek evidence, and discover what science can—and can’t—tell us about the unknown.
