How Our House Works

Where does the power come from? Where does the water come from? How does the heat work? And where does it go after you flush?

Little ones ask these all the time. This five-day unit follows the wires, the pipes, and the warm air through your own house, one question a day, then a walk around the whole house and a pot of boiled eggs on Friday.

The 19-page unit appears right away and arrives by email. We’ll also send occasional Field & Fable notes and new-resource announcements. Unsubscribe any time.

Five days, 19 pages, ready to print.

One question a day

What’s inside

Four questions

Power, water, heat, and the flush, each with a drawn diagram and a short note for you to read first.

Books, a poem, a verse

Four read-alouds from the library, “Jack and Jill” to learn by heart, and Joshua 24:15 for the week.

Hands busy

A house hunt outside, a shoebox house, thermostat math, two coloring pages, and boiled eggs to make together.
