Exploring the
Scientic Method
OverviewOverview
This rst week is so important for all of Noeo that we made it its own unit: We will
be learning about the scientic method: It’s how scientists observe and analyze to get
information. That sounds complicated, but it’s not: it’s what we all do, all the time.
You are going to learn how to “look” and to “answer,” and how to learn from what
other scientists have already “looked at and answered.” After all, that’s what science
is all about.
