Do Now 1 \u2013 Which was your favorite scientist that you learned about in the MiSTAR 6.4 Asking Questions Science Stories activity this week? Why do you admire this person and their work?

Do Now 2 \u2013 What is one scientific discovery or invention that we haven\u2019t quite perfected yet, but you think will exist in the future? How might this invention affect people or society in a positive or negative way? (For example – We don\u2019t have a cure for cancer just yet, but it is something that doctors and scientists are actively working on. How might this cure impact people and the medical field in a positive way?)

Do Now 3 \u2013 Why do you think it is important for scientists to continue asking questions and looking for answers, even when they feel like they might be an expert on a topic?
