Asking questions about the world around us is how many scientific theories begin, just like when Isaac Newton asked why the apple fell downwards and he ended up discovering gravity! Can the children think of 5 questions they'd like to find out the answers to and write them on the thought bubbles on this fun worksheet? We've included a second worksheet with an extension activity (pictured).
Here's a worksheet that's ideal for older children learning about science and famous scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking.
