    EXPLORE (A)   Introduction:          We all have questions about the world. You could ask, "Why do dogs and cats have hair?" One answer might be that it keeps them warm. Just about everything starts with a question. Usually, scientists come up with questions by looking at the world around them. Do you know how do they come up with answers to such questions?          The scientific method is a process used by scientists to study the world around them. It can also be used to test whether any statement is accurate. You can use the scientific method to study a leaf, a dog, an ocean, or the entire Universe. When scientists see something they don't understand, they have some huge urge to answer questions and discover new things. It's one of those scientist personality traits. The trick is that you have to be able to offer some evidence that confirms every answer you give.   Learning Target:...
