Scientist
Asks questions and tries things out to find the answer.
What they do
A scientist wonders why something happens, then tries an experiment to find out. They write down what they see, even when it is not what they expected.
Some scientists study stars, some study seeds and some study medicines.
Where they work: In a laboratory, a field or an observatory.
Let’s pretend
Take a magnifying glass, or just your eyes very close, and look at a leaf, a coin and your own thumb. Draw what you notice.
