2.) Because each person's job entails honing, practicing, and putting what they've learned or
acquiredintopractice.Dependingonthe kids'levelof skilldevelopment.If theyare willingto
study, read, and listen to their professors' lectures, they will be able to learn more.
3.) This is how science is meant to arrive at its conclusions about the world.
4.) Onthe surface,thisappearstobe astrange limitation,givenitisclearthatresearchtoday(and
most science inthe past) is a social endeavor.For results,samples,methodologies,anda variety
of other things, scientists rely on each other. Their interactions are frequently cooperative,
although they can also be competitive at times.
5.) The acquisitionandunderstandingof physical observationsisapartof science.Onitsown,this
understandingdoes notsolve anyproblems.Inorderfortheirunderstandingtohelpinthe solving
of problems, people must act on it.
6.) You can make a difference inpeople'sliveswhile simultaneouslylearningmore aboutpeople,
nature, and the world around us if you choose a career in science.
7.) When science improves and expands our understanding of the world, it also generates new
questionsthatneedtobe examinedfurther.The scientificprocessinvolvespeoplefromallaround
the world and will never be "finished" because it is a worldwide human activity.
8.) To ensure that all "scientists" for any given "question" are aware of the tools and processes
that are utilized, science is a process that creates a structurally sound framework in which to
evaluate "unknowns."

2. QUESTION: How Does Water Travel from Roots to Leaves?
MAKE A HYPOTHESIS: Watersuppliesavarietyof nutrientstothe soil,allowingplantstoexpandtheir
growthpotential.Plants,likepeople,have cellsorstructuresthattransferwaterfromthe rootstothe
tip.
TEST THE HYPOTHESIS
SUPPLIES:
3 clear, glass jars
3 different colors of food coloring
3 celery stalks
Knife
Water
PROCEDURES:
STEP1: make predictionsbasedon ourpriorknowledge.Forinstance,plantsare alive,justlikepeople,
and may have cells or structures that transport the water from roots to tip.
STEP 2: Gather the above materials.
STEP 3: Cut the bottom off the celery stalks, about one inch from the base.
STEP 4: Fill eachjarabouthalf waywithwater.Addafew dropsof foodcoloringtoeach,ensuringthat
each jar is a different color.
STEP 5: Place a stalk of celery in each jar and let them sit for about 20 minutes to an hour.
RECORD THE RESULTS:
Observe the results! Rip apart the stalks to see how the coloring travels through each stalk. Notice
how the color reachesthe leavesat the verytip of the stalk!Record resultsandhelpyour childdraw
a conclusion.
DRAW A CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, xylem tubes are plant structuresthat transfer water from the plant's roots to the tip.

STUDENTS LOVE SCIENCE
Students enjoyscience because theybelieve it is a way of learning or discovering things that no one
else haseverdone before.andbecauseitenablesthemtorespondtotheirnaturalqueriesinarational
and logical manner.
BUT
Poor self-esteem, being under- or over-challenged by the curriculum, domestic strife, boredom, or
illnessare amongreasonswhystudentswithdraw fromthe learningprocess.The majorityof teachers,
on the other hand, are always looking for specific strategies to re-engage those pupils who aren't
interested in learning.
