Science Tools for Students
Start with the Scientific Method!
Explore, observe, ask questions. Gather information, test, experiment. Analyze your data. Draw conclusions. Share what you learn.
These are all part of the scientific method; a process of experimentation and exploration. How do things work? Why do some things work and others don't? There are always questions to ask and answer.
