I used Deanna Jump's "What do Scientist Do?" freebie book to talk to my students about the scientific method:

Afterwards, we made ourselves into little scientists with lab coats. This is inspired by Cara's cute little scientist craftivity. We didn't have much time to do the whole body craftitivy, so I just made a template for the lab coat. It worked great!
You can download the lab coat {here}!
