Science and dinosaurs

There's more to your favorite dinosaurs than running around the house scaring the hell out of your little sister. In fact, some adults make their living just by thinking about ancient dinosaurs. We call these people "newspaper editors."

Other adults making their living studying ancient life. We call these people "paleontologists." Paleontologists are scientists.

A scientist observes the world and asks questions about how things work. The process of science begins with the question, but it doesn't end there. Next scientists test their ideas with experiments. They repeat those experiments just to make sure the results stay the same. And then they share their work. It's kinda like pre-school, but without the naps.
