Research

Research is when people look for answers to questions. It involves careful study and investigation. In research, people usually start by asking a question, then they find out what others have said about the question, and then they collect more information, which might be from books, the Internet, experiments, surveys, or interviews. Finally, they share their findings so that others can learn from it and use it to help them make good decisions.
