Take the mystery out of inquiry! When young scientists learn to use their keen powers of observation to make smart inferences about a situation, they are well on their way to understanding what the scientific method is all about. Using comics, learners are guided through the steps they take on a day-to-day basis to use what they see and turn that into information about something new to them.
