WHAT IS ASK PIPPA?

Ask Pippa is a question and answer column about science. Pippa, a freelance writer, has been writing answers to kids questions since 1988. Over the years, hundreds of questions from readers have been answered.

Here, you will find answers to some of her favourites, (most of which appeared in The Toronto Star from 1988 to 2008 -- and sometimes in other places). New questions and answers will appear every now and then -- so keep checking this website!

Check out the TOY section: Toys.

Pippa also writes reviews of kids' books and toys, science news and other cool stuff. Here you will find reviews that will help you decide what you want (or don't want) to read, and stories about neat things happening in the world of science and technology.
