How do Scientist think?
|
A scientist is someone who explores the world. Scientist investigate. To investigate you plan and do a test to answer a question or solve a problem. The question is something they want to learn.
After scientist have a question, scientist can make a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a guess to the answer of your question. It is always smart to do a little research before making a hypothesis. To research is to find out about something. After the hypothesis, a scientist does a fair experiment. The experiment must try to answer the question. During your experiment don't forget to take notes and observe carefully. After the experiment, a scientist must draw conclusions. This is the part where they find out if their hypothesis was write or wrong. After you know they answer to your hypothesis, a good scientist shares what happened. |
