Young Scientists Explore Realms of Scientific Discovery and With emphasis on (he experi- mental approac h, inquisitive stu- dents explored alien laboratories and deeoded lab instructions. Prompted b supervising teach- ers, biologists disseeted frogS. Phvs- ieists equated matter and motion, while chemists tested the work- ability of intricate formulas. Data and calculations were painstakingly recorded as eager sc ientists delved into the subject. Combining obser- vations and scientific reasoning, students discovered the formula for success. Knowledge, gained from research and experimentation, was system- atically catalogued in their minds, as eager scientists dev eloped.
