- Facts alone sit still.
- A real question gets asked.
- Ask, predict (say what you expect), test, check. It is a loop.
- Science is a loop, not only facts.
We find the answer by testing the plant. A guess alone is not enough.
Science — a way of finding things out and checking them.
Science works in a loop. A loop repeats: each check can lead to a new question.
Observation — what you sense with eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin. Inference — a guess made from an observation. A new observation can check an inference.
