Kavi's Four Magic Steps
Kavi holds a magnifying glass 🔎 and a notebook 📓. "I wonder... does a paper boat float longer than a stone? That's a question I can test!" Kavi grins. "First I ask, then I predict what will happen and why, then I test it, and last I record exactly what I see — even if I guessed wrong. Let's learn the four magic steps of a real scientist!"

A peek inside
Kavi wonders: "Which colour is the best?" Is that a question Kavi can test?
To test a question you must be able to try it and watch. 'Best colour' is just an opinion — everyone picks a different one, so there is nothing to test.
