Asking Questions and Talking About Science

Learning by Asking and Sharing

Never be afraid to ask questions! Scientists, young and old, learn by asking lots of questions about the world. If you wonder about something, talk about it with your teacher, friends, or family. Sharing your ideas and listening to others helps everyone learn more.

Remember, there are no silly questions in science—every question can lead to a new discovery!

Examples

  • Asking your teacher why leaves change color.

  • Talking with your family about a rainbow you saw.
