When you think about what a Scientist
looks like, do you picture an older man
with crazy hair, a lab coat, and bubbling
beakers? Many people do!
But anyone can be a scientist! When you
ask questions about the world around you,
make observations, look for information,
try to figure out how something works, or
try to solve a problem, YOU are acting
like a SCIENTIST!
