Introduction

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to ask questions and define problems based on observations or information from text, phenomena, models, or investigations. Science often starts with noticing. One helpful way to start is: observe, then ask or name, then find out. But questions can pop up at any time, even in the middle of finding out. There is no single order that happens every time.
