Asking Scientific Questions

Curiosity is Key

Great scientists ask lots of questions! Start with 'What if...?' or 'How does...?' and try to answer by observing, experimenting, or researching. This helps you learn more and discover new things.

Examples

  • What if you water one plant more than another—will it grow faster?

  • How does sunlight affect the temperature inside your terrarium?
