In 2005 CE, His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein started an important event. In Petra, Jordan, every year, many people who had won Nobel Prizes that year were invited to take part in a conference to talk about and try to solve the world’s problems. Prize winners in all six disciplines were invited. His Majesty King Abdullah wanted to have the yearly event in Petra because of the city’s history. The environment of Petra presented problems for the Nabatean people when they wanted to build a city. However, the people succeeded, and now the city has many visitors from all over the world.

There have been a number of conferences in Petra since 2005 CE. Famous Nobel Prize winners along with young people from Jordan and other countries in the Middle East talked about peace, medicine, science and culture. It has always been a wonderful and very special event!

3 Read Robert’s father’s reply. Did he answer Robert’s question? How?

Dear Dad,

I’m doing an interesting science project at school at the moment. Can you help me? For instance, what do scientists do when they carry out experiments?

Love,

Robert

 

Dear Robert,

I’m delighted that you are showing interest in my work as a scientist! At the moment I am working on an important project. There’s a lot of very useful equipment here, and I am using this equipment to carry out my experiments. For example, there’s a huge microscope in the laboratory, which is helping me with my research.

When scientists carry out an experiment, they first decide what to investigate. They ask a question about why something is happening and try to think of a possible answer. This possible answer is called a hypothesis. Scientists then carry out experiments to test their hypothesis. They observe the results and, if necessary, they change their hypothesis. Finally, scientists write a report about what they have found out. This is how they share their findings with other scientists.

I’m only working here for two more weeks. Then I’m coming home!

With love,

Dad

Answers

Yes, Robert’s father answered Robert’s question by giving him some instructions on what to do when carrying out an experiment. He did that based on his own experience because he is a scientist himself.
