Learning About the World

Science is a way to explore and understand everything around us. Scientists ask questions, look for answers, and discover how things work. You can be a scientist too by being curious and trying to figure things out!

The Scientific Method

Scientists use steps to solve problems:

• Ask a question
• Make a guess (called a hypothesis)
• Try things out (do experiments)
• See what happens
• Share what you learned

Science is Everywhere

Whether you are watching clouds, planting seeds, or building with blocks, you are using science!

Why Is Science Important?

Science helps us stay healthy, build cool things, and take care of our planet.

Being a Young Scientist

Use your senses—look, listen, touch, smell, and taste (when safe!)—to explore and learn.
