Your chance to ask an 'Ologist

What is lava made from? Do worms have feelings? Who was the greatest Pharoah? 

What question do you really want to know the answer to? We've been working with the boffins behind our Eyewitness books to provide the answers. 

Our 'Ologists are the experts in their fields – brilliant academics, museum curators, authors and even film consultants! They help make sure our Eyewitness books are full of the info you need to know – and now they want to hear from you!
Simply send in your questions using this form and the best ones will be answered during our special Ask an 'Ologist livestream with our team of 'Ologists on March 22 (if you can't make it - don't worry - we'll be posting it on YouTube after!). AND what's more – we'll be asking our 'Ologists to pick out their favourite questions – with the winners receiving a class visit from their own 'Ologist and 50 Eyewitness books for their school.

This year, we're inviting questions on:
  • Dinosaurs
  • Ancient Egypt
  • Science
  • Animals

So, what are you waiting for? Send in your questions before 28 February!
