Wild animals in the places they really live — from penguins in Antarctica to dragons in Indonesia.
Darwin's Finches
Little brown birds with different beaks helped Charles Darwin figure out how animals change over time.

Tiny frogs so bright they look painted — and their colours are a warning to stay away.
Emperor Penguins

Red Kangaroos
The biggest jumping animal on Earth lives in the red centre of Australia — and baby kangaroos ride in a pocket.

The biggest hunters on land live where the sea freezes — and under their white fur, their skin is black.
Blue Whales
The biggest animal that has ever lived on Earth — bigger than any dinosaur — swims in our oceans right now.
Giant Pandas
Black-and-white bears that spend almost all day eating bamboo — and have a secret extra thumb to hold it.

Ideas that changed the world — and the exact places where they were born.
The Printing Press
One clever machine in Germany meant books could be copied hundreds of times — and ideas could travel the world.
Paper
Before paper, people wrote on bamboo strips and silk. Then China invented something light, cheap and easy to carry.
The Wheel
One of the oldest inventions ever — a simple round thing that lets us move heavy loads, and still rolls today.
The Compass
A spoon-shaped stone that always pointed south helped sailors cross oceans they had never seen before.
The Light Bulb
Thomas Edison's workshop in New Jersey made a light that could glow for hours — and changed the night forever.
The Telephone
In Boston in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell spoke the first clear sentence ever sent down a wire.
The First Airplane
Two bicycle makers from Ohio flew the first powered airplane — for just 12 seconds — on a windy beach.
The First Steam Train
In 1825, a puffing steam engine pulled the world's first public railway — and people came to watch it go.
The World Wide Web
The web was invented in a science lab in Switzerland — so scientists could share their work with one click.
The First Hot Air Balloon
Two French brothers filled a giant paper bag with hot air — and people flew for the very first time.

Stone circles, pyramids and moon landings — moments that happened in real places you can visit.

The oldest of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world is still standing — built about 4,500 years ago.
The Great Wall of China
A wall so long it would stretch across a whole continent — built over hundreds of years to protect China.
The Colosseum
An arena in Rome so big it could hold 50,000 people — and it was built nearly 2,000 years ago.
Machu Picchu
A lost Inca city hidden high in the mountains of Peru, with stones fitted together so perfectly you can't slip a card between them.
The First Moon Landing
On July 20, 1969, two astronauts walked on the Moon for the first time — after blasting off from Florida.
Stonehenge
A ring of giant stones on an English plain, built about 4,500 years ago — and nobody knows exactly why.
The Taj Mahal
A palace of white marble built as a gift of love — it took more than 20 years and 20,000 workers to build.
The Eiffel Tower
The most famous tower in the world was only meant to stand for 20 years — Paris loved it so much it stayed.
Angkor Wat
The largest religious building on Earth — a temple in the Cambodian jungle so famous it is on the country's flag.
The Acropolis of Athens
A marble temple on a rocky hill, built 2,500 years ago for the goddess Athena — and still standing over Athens.
