Try to write down how you would attempt to find an answer to your question.

Correct Answer

To find an answer to my question about why leaves change colour, I would first observe different leaves during autumn and note the colour changes.

Then, I would ask my science teacher or look up information in books and reliable websites.

I might conduct an experiment by keeping some leaves in different conditions to see what affects their colour. I would collect leaves at different times and compare them.

I would also read about chlorophyll and how it breaks down.

After gathering all this information, I would analyse it to understand the scientific reasons behind the colour change and share my findings with classmates.

Explanation

The chapter outlines the scientific method steps that students should follow: observe something interesting, think of a question, guess a possible answer, test through experiments or more observations, and analyse results. It also mentions that 'Scientists across the world work together, often in large teams' and encourages students to ask friends for help, making discovery more fun together.
