Why do scientists ask questions?

Narrator: Science is all about asking questions - like where does mud come from?

Neat observation Molly, every time it rains, the dog gets muddy. Why is that?

Molly: I reckon the rain mixes with the soil and makes muddy puddles.

Narrator: Ok, how can we test that?

Of course, experiment with water and soil.

But how will we know it's correct?

Molly: Just do another test without water!

Narrator: So next time it rains, we can predict that the park will be muddy and we can come prepared!
