Our fascination with nature begins with our first observation of a butterfly gliding freely through air or of our first mud pie standing at attention on the pavement. We are natural-born scientists! Once we enter school, we begin our formal study of science disciplines. Teachers explain the nature of science (observation and experimentation), and we are taught to model the scientific process when we conduct our research. Within the model of the scientific process, there are clear logical guidelines for solving scientific problems called the scientific method. However, before you go out testing and researching every observation you make in nature, you should know a few scientific terms. As scientists, you have already made two important assumptions about nature- it is understandable and predictable. You have also figured out that even though this is true, nature also has complex systems. This is why you need those logical and clear steps to conduct research.
1. Are we natural-born scientists?
2. What are associated with the nature of science?
3. How must the scientific method be?
4. What should a scientist know before doing tests and observations?
