If I had my young scientists every day, I would have them practice observing and questioning which is the beginning of all great thinking. What do you see and what do you wonder? Take a minute and look at this photo. As you view the picture, what questions come to mind? Then look below at what your children noticed.

Part of the water is frozen. Why is the ice there? Why isn’t all the water covered with ice?
There are circles around Percy. What is making the circles? Why do the circles grow larger?
Most of the photo is brown. Why aren’t the plants green and the water blue?
Percy’s head is turned. Is Percy looking at something?
Percy is colorful. Is he a boy or a girl?
Percy is in cold water. Does it hurt him?
