During investigations or
experiments, scientists make
observations and record data about
what they discover.
Some scientists work in
laboratories and others work in
classrooms. No matter where a
scientist works, they must follow the
safety rules.
• Always wear safety goggles.
• Never put anything in your
mouth.
• Wash your hands when you are
done with your investigations.

Not all scientists work by
themselves. Some scientists work in
small groups or very large groups.
Scientists need to design
investigations or experiments to help
them find answers to their questions.
