Discover Science in 20 Objects by Anna Claybourne

An illustrated journey through the wonders of science - one object at a time.

Perfect for children aged 7 and up, and ideal for nurturing a love of science and inspiring curiosity, Discover Science in 20 Objects is a boldly illustrated, accessible introduction to science through the lens of everyday and extraordinary objects.

Each spread explores a single item - from a falling apple to a smartphone, a fossil to a satellite - revealing the fascinating science behind it and the big ideas it represents. With clear explanations, vibrant illustrations and a narrative that connects history, invention, and discovery, this book helps children understand how science shapes the world around them - and how they can be part of it.

Anna Claybourne won the Association of Science Education Book of the year with her book I Love This Tree.
