      Asking an important question, then doing an experiment to find the answer and then telling everyone else about it!

      Very best thing is that you’re always learning. Every answer brings a new question about how the world works.

      Being a scientist means you don’t need to take anybody’s word for anything. You can use the thinking you learn in science everywhere.

      All you have to do when somene tells you something is go, “Where’s the evidence?”
