We're starting off the year asking "What do scientists do?" and learning about the Scientific Method. The process of questioning, hypothesizing based on prior knowledge, and then experimenting, observing, collecting and analyzing information in order to make a conclusion is all around us. We even tried using the scientific method to figure out how to make the paper bridge that would support the most pennies. (The bridge of Thomas, Chase and Travis won, beating even Mr. Mac's bridge!)
