Asking Why


Listen Later

Recently, I had the pleasure of reading the November-December 2024 issue of "The Science Teacher," a journal published by the National Science Teaching Association.

Within this issue, I encountered the "Right to the Source" section, authored by Michael Apfeldorft. His article, titled "Joyfully Asking Why," provided insightful information on a list of questions compiled by Carl Sagan and his wife, author/producer Ann Druyan.

In the mid-1990's, Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan conceived of an interesting way to help young learners confidently ask questions and think about the world around them. Carl and Ann compiled a list of 150 questions to develop a book series, where the title of each book would begin simply with the word WHY? To download this manuscript of questions, please, visit:
