What science really is
It is a habit, not a heap of facts.
Thinking hard, looking closely, trying things out. Three parts of one way of working, aimed at making sense of the world. Notice what that leaves out: a list to memorise.

The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Curiosity first
Nothing starts without it.
Every piece of science began with somebody wanting to know why. That is why your textbook is named Curiosity.
Science is everywhere
Sand, galaxies, and the kitchen stove.
From one grain of sand to a whole mountain. From a blade of grass to a forest. From the ocean floor to outer space, and the pan on your stove.
The scientific method
Five steps, and they never change.
Observe. Turn it into a question. Guess an answer. Test the guess. Look at what the test showed. Learn these five and you can use them anywhere.
Imran works it out
A pen, two minutes, no shop nearby.
Why has it stopped? Perhaps the ink is finished. Open it and look. Still ink, so the guess was wrong. Next guess: the tip has dried.
Observing comes first
This is the step people skip.
Nothing begins until somebody notices. A careless glance is not an observation. Look again at whatever seems odd.

Working Like a Scientist
The scientific method in five steps: observe, wonder, guess, test, then look at what you found. A cook, a cycle mechanic and an electrician all use it. So do you, whenever something stops working.
- The scientific method has five steps: observe, wonder, guess, test, and look at the result.
- It begins with noticing something. Nothing starts until somebody observes carefully.
- A guess is an answer you have not checked yet. It is a starting point, not a conclusion.
