Problems & Questions by Chloe Benjamin |

Why do we want to do experiments? We want to do experiments to find the answers to our questions or problems. Sometimes we have questions because we’re just curious. When your dog is scratching a lot and he doesn’t have fleas, when flowers and grass grow in cracks in the sidewalk, or when you see insects running across the water, your curiosity may get the better of you and you start asking all kinds of questions. This may make you want to try to find those answers by doing an experiment. People also ask questions because there are serious problems out there. Cancer, lung disease, pollution, and global warming are just a few of them. Scientists try to find medicines to cure the diseases or the sources and solutions for the other problems. The scientific method helps do this. Maybe someday YOU will find the remedies to these humongous problems. |
