Conclusion

This Sampler was created because although it's important to learn information about things and to think critically about subjects, further learning doesn't always take place if a personal connection doesn't first exist. It is also important to look around and see the information you are given and use it to draw a conclusion. This sampler is designed in order to develop a hypthosis and draw on clues and given facts to bring about a proven fact. A good scientist is also a good detective!
