What children learn in Level 65

Scientists notice changes and ask questions about them. Why does a puddle form by the slide every time it rains? What made those dirt mounds?
Then they find answers: observe and measure, compare old and new photos, and ask people who have lived there a long time.
They explain the cause and effect, and share what they learned with others.
Your turn! Put the steps of investigating a change in order.
Try it with a grown-up! Find an old photo of your street or school, and compare it with how it looks today. What changed? What caused it?
