This workbook helps children uncover the scientific principles behind seemingly ordinary things and behaviors at home, fostering a sense of wonder about the “Why?” and “How?” of everyday life.

It introduces scientific elements (chemistry, physics, technology, etc.) hidden in daily life and the home through concrete examples. By understanding how science is applied in practical contexts, children develop a deeper interest in the principles, fundamentals, and basic knowledge behind objects and phenomena. Once they grasp these principles, they are encouraged to think further: “How does this work?” and “Where else is this used?”, thereby nurturing their “spirit of inquiry.”
The book’s narrative follows a family from the Edo period who time-travel to the home of a scientist in the Reiwa era. The modern scientist explains “things taken for granted in today’s households”—such as rice cookers, microwaves, and communication principles—in an easy-to-understand way. Children can enjoy the story through the Edo family’s amazement and delight.
The book concludes with an explanation on “How to Conduct Scientific Research”! It also includes a “Research Presentation Sheet” to aid comprehension and summarization, helping children successfully complete their independent research projects.
