How does a child learn the ways of its life?

As you grow, you think and wonder. You think of questions, and you try to find the answers. You might wonder why it does not hurt to cut your hair. Why do you yawn? What, exactly, do your fingerprints look like?

You search for the answers to these questions by using your eyes, reading books, using the computer, or asking people. Believe it or not, when you do this searching, you are doing what scientists do.

You find out from looking through a magnifying glass what your fingerprints look like. You find out from reading an encyclopedia that cutting your hair does not hurt because there are no nerves in your hair. You feel pain only where there are nerves. You find out from asking your dad that you yawn because you are tired. The gulps of air you take in as you yawn bring extra oxygen into your body and make you feel more awake.

Some things are fun to think about. Some are confusing. You might wonder why you were born. What does being alive mean, and why do people die? You might ask your parents, teacher, or a friend. Try to find answers together.

The more you learn, the more you will want to know!
