What it builds

The ABCDE of scientific drawing

Not art class. Five drawing habits, printed on the back of every book, that train a child to look carefully.

1

Accurate drawings

Drawing what is really there, not what they expect to see.

2

Bigger drawings

Drawing objects bigger, so every part can be seen and checked.

3

Complete drawings

Finishing a given drawing: a caterpillar, a house, a spider's web.

4

Detailed drawings

Filling in as many details as they can find.

5

Explain with drawings

Using pictures to explain the abstract: how a hinge works, how a bird moves.

Why drawing

Every scientist keeps a notebook. Drawing is how a child learns to see before they learn to measure.

How it works

Observe. Redesign. Explain.

Level 3 asks children to observe real things closely, then use drawings to explain how they work and how to make them better.

1
Observe closely

Watch a bird hop, fly and perch, then draw a symbol for each movement.

2
Draw how it works

Open and close a door and a window. Make 3 pictures to explain the role of hinges.

3
Redesign it

Draw how you would turn a wooden table into a study table, and list the changes.

4
Record an experiment

Leave fruit and vegetable peels in soil for a few weeks and draw what happens in a table.

Why we made this

One teacher. One scientist.

Vaishali Gupta spent twenty years in education watching bright children decide they were “bad at science”, usually before they were seven, and usually after being handed a worksheet.

The problem was never ability. It was that science arrived as a set of answers to memorise, instead of a question worth chasing.

So she built what she wanted for her own classroom: activities that need no lab, no screen, and no expertise from the adult in the room.

Every order funds the SLATE Program. 5% of what you spend puts learning materials into the hands of children who would otherwise go without.

What comes next

Level 3 is drawing as thinking

Level 1: what they can see. Level 2: what happened before and what comes next. Level 3: the story behind the picture.

All three drawing books, from age 4.

Before you ask

Questions parents actually send us

Can my child use it alone?
Mostly, yes. Level 3 activities speak to the child directly. An adult helps with anything outdoors or messy, like the fruit peel experiment.
My child says they can't draw. Is this for them?
Yes, especially. It isn't about drawing well. It's about looking carefully. A wobbly drawing with the right details beats a pretty one.
What else do we need?
Pencils and colours of your own (they are not included). Most activities use what is already at home: a mirror, a wooden table, a door, fruit peels.
Does it work with the STEAM cards?
Yes. The cards give children things to observe; the drawing books teach them to record and explain what they saw.
Home or classroom?
Both. In a classroom, each child needs their own book.
What are the theme pages?
Big picture pages to colour and talk about, such as Colours and Shapes, Safety First, and Sun, Moon and Stars. Use them for picture reading: at Level 1 children say what they see, at Level 2 what happened before and what comes next, at Level 3 they weave a story.
