The LabSmith cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Query Ask a good question — sharp + answerable; 'Where science starts.'
  2. See Observe — gather raw data first; 'Look first. Talk later.'
  3. Guess Hypothesize — frame a testable guess; 'What if…?'
  4. Model Model it — build a small stand-in you can poke; 'Learn the big thing from the little one.'
  5. Meter Measure precisely — a number and a unit; 'How much, exactly?'
  6. Check Experiment — design + run the test; 'One test at a time.'
  7. Again Replicate — repeat to be sure; 'One result is a maybe. Do it again.'
  8. Because Argue from evidence — back a claim with the reason; 'I think Y, because I saw X.'
  9. Explain Explain the mechanism — the how-and-why that connects cause to effect; 'Know THAT, then know WHY.'
  10. Reflect Learn — interpret results + revise; 'What did we learn? What surprised us?'
