A method of learning about the world. Collect observations - think about how things work, how variables vary or are related. Theory: phone requires some sort of power. Make a hypothesis to why it isn"t turning on. Doing five things at once to get your phone to turn on, will not know what the problem is. Mom is a source of food for the baby - cupboard.
