What Do You Wonder Have you ever wondered about the world around you Maybe you’ve asked yourself if certain colors attract bees or if one brand of toothpaste is really better than another Perhaps you’ve wondered if there’s a better way to mow your front lawn If you ask yourself questions like these you may have the makings of a great scientific experiment Scientific experiments can be as simple as growing a seed under different conditions or as complex as designing a new way to power a rocket into space Science projects can answer questions you have about the world The key is to ask yourself What do I wonder 4
Project Tip Keep and carry a small notebook or make notes on an electronic device As you go about your daily life write down questions or observations you have about the world As you read through your notes you may be surprised to find that you have already developed a great science experiment idea 5
