written on assignment for National Geographic - the show wasn't produced, but I got a wonderful song from it!

Questions (Here's where Science Begins)
 
Questions, questions, a question following a question
Asking questions, go ahead, jump in
Cause that's how science begins
 
How much?  How big?  How bright? Can I see that far?
Learning all about our earthly star cause
That's how science begins
Here's where science begins!
 
There are so many things to know
Where do we start? Where do we go?
Curiosity is science's birth
So you see, we'd better start right down on earth
 
Touching, tasting, looking, smelling
Listening, thinking, using everything
Cause that's how science begins
 
A test tube, a petri dish, thermometer, a data list
Any kid can be a scientist cause
That's how science begins
Here's where science begins!
 
There are so many things to know
Where do we start? Where do we go?
Curiosity is science's birth
So you see, we'd better start right down on earth
 
Collecting, sharing, sending data, make a theory
Confirming, and soon we'll see
That that's how science begins
 
Questions, questions, a question following a question
Asking questions, go ahead, jump in
The world is our science lab, so come right in
Cause that's how science begins
Here's where science, here's where science
See where science begins!
