To discover something is to find it in a nice, surprising way. When you discover things, they've usually been lost, hidden, or secret--or just unknown to you. You could discover a cool fact in a book, or discover a fun new way to dance.
To discover something can also mean to be the first person ever to find it or figure it out. For example, Clyde Tombaugh discovered the planet Pluto.
