It is a fun book but I'm really not sure what "science" it teaches.

I said it teaches about science.

From the very first chapter :

> "Mum," Harry said. "If you want to win this argument with Dad, look in chapter two of the first book of the Feynman Lectures on Physics. There's a quote there about how philosophers say a great deal about what science absolutely requires, and it is all wrong, because the only rule in science is that the final arbiter is observation - that you just have to look at the world and report what you see.

Chapter 8 introduces how to think about peculiar phenomenons through children games and so on and so forth.
