Do+You+Consider+Yourself+a+Scientist+-+Calla

As I see a strange plant or animal, I wonder, what is that? How come it looks like that? Yes, I do consider myself a scientist because when I see an animal or something of the like, I ask myself questions about what I see. If, I find an interesting plant, I like to examine it more closely and try to find out why it looks like that. I also enjoy observing animals like deer and antelope, if I find them, when I go up to our cabin. I try to find out where they are going, if they are in a herd, and what they are doing. I also like to test and mix chemicals together and see how they react. Especially in the summer, I observe and infer about the life around me. Whether I am up at my family's cabin, at swim meet, hanging out with friends, or just laying outside in my backyard, I wonder about the things going on around me. What type of bug is that and where is it going?​ Why is that plant alive and the other one dead? Did the dead one get sprayed with weed killer and the alive one did not? During the school year, I also observe and infer in everyday life. I observe my teachers writing the homework or notes on the board and I can infer that if we are studying a certain unit and we will have little quizzes on it, and that there will be an end of the unit test. I also enjoy watching the stars and searching for planets. Since I ask myself questions about animals and plants I see, and other related items, I believe that I am a scientist.
