Science at its most basic is knowledge about and study of the truths of the world. A scientist studies the world around us—and sometimes within us—to learn more about the rules that govern it and the reasons why things work the way they do. In this informative book, students will read more about science and the way scientists look at a question or problem, learning through examples that range from the deepest mysteries of the human body to the far-flung reaches of space. Thought-provoking questions about medicine, animals, the universe, and much more will draw readers in and get them pondering more about the world we live in.

Every day you answer questions-dozens, even hundreds of them. How do you find the answers to questions? How can you be sure your answers are correct?Scientists use questions to learn about things. Scientists have developed a way of helping make sure they answer questions correctly. It is called the scientific method. The scientific method can help you find answers to many of the questions you are curious about.What kind of food does your dog like best? Is your sister more likely to help you with your homework if you say please? Can throwing a dead snake over a tree branch make it rain? The scientific method can help you answer these questions and many others.Stephen Kramer's invitation to think like a scientist, illustrated by Felicia Bond's humorous and appealing pictures, will receive enthusiastic response from young readers, scientist and nonscientist alike.

Thinking Like a Scientist focuses on high-interest, career-related topics in the elementary curriculum related to science. Students will explore interdisciplinary content, foster creativity, and develop higher order thinking skills with activities aligned to relevant content area standards. Through inquiry-based investigations, students will explore what scientists do, engage in critical thinking, learn about scientific tools and research, and examine careers in scientific fields. Thinking Like a Scientist reflects key emphases of curricula from the Center for Gifted Education at William & Mary, including the development of process skills in various content areas and the enhancement of discipline-specific thinking and habits of mind through hands-on activities.

"Think like a Scientist with Scout: A Guided Journey through the Scientific Method" introduces students to the Scientific Method. Students are guided through the process side-by-side with Kayle who has found a very interesting creature in the woods. Throughout her journey, Scout is there to encourage her and teach her important concepts. In the book, Kayle practices the four steps of the Scientific Method. Throughout, she learns to ask questions and make observations just like a real scientist!The four steps of the Scientific Method are: Hypothesis: Your best Bold Guess to explain a phenomenon based uponthe information you know at that time.Research: The process of learning more about a subject. Thenew knowledge may be used to improve a hypothesis and design experiments.Experiment: The process of testing a hypothesis or making a newdiscovery.Conclusion: The overall results of an experiment that explain if ahypothesis was correct.This book covers Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Scientific Practices.

The scientific method provides the framework for how scientists approach problems, develop hypotheses, test those ideas, and share their results. This series investigates a different step of the scientific method and shows readers how scientists think critically about problems to advance our understanding of nature, space, and ourselves. In addition to examples from the real world of various scientific fields, each book inspires students to apply these concepts and explore their own questions about the world around them. Readers will be scientists-in-training, ready for the classroom, and the universe at large. Features include: Aligns with the performance expectations for elementary students in the Next Generation Science Standards, including asking questions and defining problems; analyzing and interpreting data; constructing explanations and designing solutions; and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. Promotes critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Help your child to develop their growth mindset as they discover how real astronauts look at the world and how they think. Children's brains are powerful and flexible, but they need exercising and challenging to develop. In this book they will uncover the core skills that can make a good astronaut great, and be encouraged to have a go at some simple activities to help them to train their brain to become better at applying outstanding scientific practice. By uncovering the way that real astronauts and space scientists look at the world and approach problems, they will be learning skills that will set them in good stead for life. Each topic is broken down into manageable chunks, so the reader can build up their skills and naturally develop their thinking. Each book contains biographies of four top space pioneers, and the humorous illustrations throughout help the reader to understand some of the trickier concepts.

It is essential that students learn to examine, review, and evaluate knowledge and ideas through a process of scientific investigation and argumentation. Using these instructional methods and lesson scenarios, teachers of all disciplines will gain the tools needed to offer students a richer, lasting understanding of science, its concepts, and its place in their lives and the global community.
