What is science?

in comics

An engaging science comic that helps children think critically in the age of AI.

How do scientists know what is true? Why do even great scientists make mistakes?

How can children recognize misleading claims in a world filled with convincing AI-generated content?

What Is Science? In Comics explores these questions through lively dialogue, humor and illustrated discoveries. It introduces the scientific method and shows why evidence matters.

Children discover how to question information, test ideas and draw their own conclusions.

A different approach to children's science books

Most science books explore one subject. This book explores the thinking behind all of them.

The book shows how physics, biology, history, and geography are linked by common principles.

Readers learn what distinguishes a hypothesis from a theory and why researchers repeat experiments. They discover how questions become discoveries and why evidence can overturn established ideas.

This approach gives the title a distinctive position within children's nonfiction. It also prepares young readers to understand other scientific subjects.

Serious ideas. An enjoyable graphic story.

An everyday conversation about UFOs draws the characters into a lively argument about evidence. As they meet new people, their questions lead to fascinating discoveries.

Galileo's experiments and Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift become part of their discussions.

Dialogue, humor, and expressive illustrations clarify complex ideas without sacrificing their meaning. The comic format welcomes children who might hesitate to choose traditional nonfiction.

Readers follow a story, not a lecture.

Children attend the story and leave with enhanced knowledge of science.

Critical thinking in the age of AI

Artificial intelligence makes critical thinking an increasingly urgent educational priority.

Fake images, made-up stories, and sure-sounding wrong answers can make misinformation hard to spot. Children need tools for evaluating claims, not just instructions about which sources to trust.

Developing these skills is one of the book's central goals.

The story teaches readers to request evidence, check explanations and identify unsupported claims. It explores pseudoscience and shows why scientific ideas must withstand criticism.

These habits help children approach information with greater independence. The book teaches a fundamental skill for the digital age, without relying on short-lived technology trends.

From the book, pp. 12 to 13: why a finding only counts once other scientists have checked it.
