Parents are failing to keep up with their children’s scientific knowledge, a survey suggests.
Researchers for the Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair interviewed 2,000 parents of children aged between five and 16.
Two-thirds of parents said they struggled with their children’s science queries and a quarter felt frustrated.
Some of the questions that parents struggled with include:
Why is the moon sometimes out in the day?
Why is the sky blue?
How much does the earth weigh?
