About the Book

1. The best experts have come together to create the best introductory science book!
It's not easy for children's science books to have both professionalism and fun. To achieve this difficult goal, the best experts in each field have come together for this book.
The planning and supervision were handled by researchers who have taught children for a long time at KAIST's Institute for the Gifted in Science. Composed of experts in physics, chemistry, life sciences, and earth sciences, the research team participated in all stages of book production, from topic selection and table of contents organization to content review and supervision, enhancing the book's completeness.
To convey learning information engagingly, a webtoon artist created a fun story, and a professional writer with a science background checked the learning content and supplemented the story. The information corners were written by a science major who received both a bachelor's and master's degree from KAIST.
The characters feature the well-known creators Heunhannammae, who need no further introduction, and an experienced illustrator further enhanced the charm of Heunhannammae.
Thus, under the common goal of developing a high-quality introductory science book for children, the main players of the future, the best production team came together to develop a science learning comic that encompasses both professionalism and fun.

2. Fun stories will naturally build up your scientific knowledge!
No more science learning comics where the story and learning content are separate! Until now, in science learning comics, the story and learning content often mixed like oil and water, leading children to only read the comic story. "Heunhannammae Science Expedition" skillfully integrates learning information into the story, so that just reading the comic will help you naturally remember the learning content. Now, enjoy reading the comic and unknowingly accumulate scientific knowledge!

3. Textbooks as a foundation, plus the latest research and relevant domestic information!
The basis of science education is the textbook. The contents of elementary school science textbooks were thoroughly analyzed, and the books were divided by topic, with all textbook content included in each volume. To systematically convey scientific knowledge to children, the table of contents was organized and stories were created in accordance with the curriculum. Additionally, topics that children might find interesting, the latest research, and information relevant to Korea, which are not in textbooks, were added to enrich the content.

4. It satisfies children's scientific curiosities!
The quirky questions children ask are excellent scientific topics in themselves. During the planning stage, the editorial team conducted a survey and received over 3,000 questions from elementary school students. Among them, the most frequently asked or innovative questions were selected, and the main text was structured in a way that answers these questions. What were the science questions that children were most curious about?

5. Fun and enriching activities with bonus stickers!
After each chapter, you can engage in fun activities based on the content you've learned. There are exciting games such as mazes to find treasure chests, hidden picture searches on a volcanic island, 'Great Job!' sticker activities, and moon phase sticker activities. Don't miss out on the bonus stickers featuring Heunhannammae, the dog Eomji, and the Snack Squad!
