1. Describe how scientists know so much.

2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about scientists?

Looking closely at the world around you and asking questions is the first step to becoming a scientist. Try this: Find your favorite toy. Make a drawing of it. Try to write or draw every single thing that you can see or touch. Then, think of questions about your toy. Where did it come from? What is it made of? See if you can come up with 5 questions, or even 10 questions!
