Domestic science investigates the science in your life. There are activities in 4 sections about the food you eat, the way you wash, your belongings and your surroundings. It will even try to explain some everyday mysteries—like how does the rug get across the room by itself?

Follow our exploration of science in the home, through the kitchen, bathroom, living room and garden.

Try the three long-term project ideas:

• Spring into Science, with the Woodland Trust
