Science at Home

Description

In Science at Home, Edith Patch and Harrison Howe invite young readers on a journey of discovery—without ever leaving the house. From the garden to the kitchen, from warm blankets to the walls around us, everyday objects are explored with scientific curiosity and a gentle storytelling voice.

Children learn how things work, where they come from, and how they’re connected to the natural world. Chapters like “Flower Gardens,” “Home Shelters,” and “Materials for Clothes” encourage questions and open new ways of seeing the ordinary as extraordinary.

Filled with clear explanations, relatable examples, and charming illustrations, Science at Home transforms the familiar into fascinating lessons. Reflection questions and simple activities throughout help children become active observers, turning their homes into living laboratories.

Perfect for curious learners, families, and nature-inspired educators, this timeless classic fosters a lifelong habit of asking questions and finding wonder in the world just outside—and inside—your door.
