Purpose

You can learn a lot about the world around you by making initial observations that will cause you to have questions. Through the scientific inquiry process, you may even discover a possible solution to issues that face us today. Pay attention all around you and let that inspire you.

This section, which includes instructions to do your Literature Review, Problem Question, and Hypothesis, will guide you through making detailed observations and conducting thorough background research, all leading to a testable problem question. Make sure you observe things you are genuinely interested in and choose topics that mean something to you. If you do that, you will enjoy becoming a real scientist!

After you complete each part in this section, get feedback from other students, teachers, adults, and experts to improve each part or to get help in approaching the next step.
