01
Question
Start with something you can investigate or verify.
02
Evidence
Show the observations, data, or sources behind the finding.
03
Recreate
Leave clear steps so another student can try it too.
Four ways in
Science starts with noticing.
You do not need a laboratory or a brand-new discovery. You need a clear question, honest evidence, and enough detail for someone else to follow your thinking.
02
Science Explained
Make an interesting idea understandable and show how to verify it.
Try: “What keeps us from seeing many stars in Greenwood?”
03
Visual Sciences
Use a graph, drawing, or infographic to reveal a scientific pattern.
Try: “Map how the length of daylight changes across one month.”
04
Opinions & Reflections
Build a thoughtful position from evidence and consider another view.
Try: “Is artificial intelligence good for science?”

- 01Does the color of a surface change how quickly ice melts?
- 02How much does outdoor light reduce the number of stars we can see?
- 03Which kind of reusable bag lasts through the most trips?
- 04How does leaf color change from week to week in the fall?
