Wonderment

science told in stories

Introduction

The world works in wonderful ways. Appreciating them is what Wonderment is all about. But this isn’t a textbook. There are no calculations or quizzes. No vocabulary lists to memorize.

There are stories: episodes of science in the everyday. In the kitchen, at a cabin, at a garage sale, in dirty laundry. Stories are familiar and approachable and make big ideas easier to remember.

Big ideas in science are patterns. For instance, objects are lazy by nature. Inertia. Things wear down unless kept up. Entropy. Wonderment explores these patterns in stories to focus on the big picture. To appreciate how life happens and, in doing so, see the familiar as if for the first time.
