"Common Science" by Carleton W. Washburne is an educational science textbook written in the early 20th century. It aims to make scientific principles accessible to elementary school students by addressing the questions they have about the world around them. The text covers fundamental scientific concepts through engaging narratives, experiments, and hands-on activities that promote curiosity and understanding. The opening portion introduces the book's premise of understanding science through the perspective of children's inquiries. It establishes that the curriculum is grounded in approximately 2000 questions collected from students, reflecting their interests in various scientific topics, including physics, chemistry, and biology. The author emphasizes the importance of captivating the students with imaginative scenarios and experiments to make learning enjoyable and relevant. This engaging approach sets the stage for a series of scientifically-informed chapters aimed at demystifying complex topics such as gravity, buoyancy, and the nature of matter in a captivating way for young learners.
