When we wonder about something, we ask questions to help us understand it. Asking Questions is the second step of the scientific method. In science, we ask questions about things we don’t know the answer to but want to find out. We ask questions to help us solve problems.

The final step of the scientific method is to communicate or share with others what we have learned. It is important for scientists to share the results of their experiments. They can write, create pictures, or speak to others. What is your favorite way to share your thoughts and ideas?
