The book Three Big Questions — (All) Science in just three questionsThis book, published by Planeta Tangerina, stemmed from his experience as an educator and father of two daughters, which compelled him to think about the most concise way possible to convey the essence of what science is. Much of science is not about getting the right answers, but about asking the right questions. Philip concludes that if children and young people can understand the three big questions in this book, they will have an idea of ​​what it means to think constructively about most of the science content they encounter in school curricula, and also in their lives.
