About Investigations
- Experiments are a type of investigation where we change one variable to see how it affects another.
- An investigation that is not an experiment is one where we look at the world without changing anything.
Examples
We might investigate the following questions: How many legs does an insect have? Are all leaves green? How many daisies are there in a field? What do ants eat?
