Introduction: What Is Science?

Have you ever taken a close look at a snowflake? Have you knocked over a pile of blocks just to see what kind of noise it would make? Have you tried to catch a butterfly? As we get older, we explore the world around us without really thinking about it too much. But as we get older, we begin to ask questions, such as: "Why is the sky blue?" or "What's inside your eyeball?" All of this is science, and the beginning of a process called scientific inquiry.
