Judah Giraffe Is Happy to Be Wrong: The Scientific Method

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Most of us hate being wrong, so facing challenging problems or questions can cause us to freeze. But scientists know that educated guessing―paired with a willingness to be wrong and try again―is a powerful tool for confidence and discovery. Join Judah Giraffe as he uses the Scientific Method to face his own daunting challenge: finding out where all the water in the jungle went!

WHY THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS CRITICAL FOR KIDS AND ADULTS: At all ages, people are faced with ambiguous questions and challenges that they have never faced before, which often results in fear, nerves, or stalled progress (e.g., writer's block). The "hypothesis" has the power to remove ambiguity and reduce nerves about being wrong in every aspect of life. Introducing it at inquisitive early ages gives children a powerful tool to answer questions and face challenges independently.
