If you read it with interest and enjoyment, you will soon find that scientific knowledge has entered your head!
Considering the reading level of today's children, who are familiar with visual media but lack basic reading comprehension skills, the content was delivered in the easiest language possible at the children's eye level.
The friendly narrative style, consisting of dialogue between characters, makes it easy for children who are not accustomed to reading text.
We've also optimized the structure to make it easy to read and understand accurately by utilizing various visual aids.

Satisfy your curiosity in real life and develop your scientific thinking skills!
It provides a framework for viewing not only simple scientific concepts but also phenomena and problems through a scientific lens.
This book, which draws scientific curiosity from real-life materials and approaches concepts and principles, resonates with children and naturally draws them into the book.
Readers can not only satisfy their scientific curiosity and gain knowledge, but also develop scientific thinking and attitudes.

A colorful visual composition that catches the eye!
It delivers content intuitively through a variety of visual aids, including vivid and realistic photos, clear illustrations, and humorous characters.
Additionally, we've designed the book to reduce the burden of learning and make science an enjoyable subject by summarizing the key content of each unit through 4-panel cartoons.

A new standard for elementary science based on the latest science textbooks from 2020!
It faithfully reflects the contents of the most recently revised elementary and middle school textbooks.
Each volume, organized by topic, covers elementary school subjects as well as concepts learned in middle school, tailored to the elementary school level.
Additionally, we have further enhanced the curriculum connectivity by reflecting the scientific terminology used in the revised textbooks.

A book painstakingly developed by trusted science education experts!
This book was painstakingly created by science education experts who have long studied science at universities and taught children directly in the field, participating in the entire development process from planning to editing.
To convey accurate scientific concepts at an elementary school level, we studied elementary, middle, and high school textbooks as well as various domestic and international specialized materials to develop fresh materials and explanation methods that are suitable for children's level.
Additionally, the series' reliability has been enhanced by repeatedly ensuring the accuracy of its content through review by authoritative professors who teach science at education universities.

『Mr. Yong's Bustling Science Classroom』 Volume 12: Plants
Even plants that we thought were just sitting there, are actually busy all the time?
A plant that stands still in the same spot yesterday and today.
Even as we pass by without noticing, plants receive sunlight and make their own nutrients, and like animals, they breathe without rest.
Thanks to the plants' constant busyness, we can eat the nutrients they produce to get energy and breathe in the oxygen they release.
In the ‘Plants’ section, we delve into the characteristics of plants and what each of the roots, stems, and leaves that make up the plant body do.
Why are plant leaves green? How do plants know which way the sun is shining and grow their stems toward it? If their roots aren't porous like sponges, how do they absorb water? Knowing everything about plants, from roots to stems and leaves, will take you one step closer to the fiercely competitive world of plants.
