Use your creativity, curiosity, and enthusiasm to ask questions we can answer with science! Experiment with animal behavior, movement, and diet. Do fieldwork collecting outside and use microscopes to catalog what you found. Construct circuits and mechanical models. Investigate light, shadows, and what that tells us about distant planets. Meet scientists doing similar work and have fun!
