Did you ever think that observing your dog, cat, fish, bird, or reptile could prepare you for long-term science investigations? Indeed it can! The basis for developing scientific thinking is improving observation skills. Through observation, students can gather data to help interpret their environment and then draw conclusions. You can foster scientific observation and other inquiry-based skills by having your students conduct observations with animals at home at or at school.
