Your dictionary will tell you that study is the use of your mind to find out something. How do you find out what you wish to know?
Sometimes you go on a special trip to observe what you wish to learn about. As you observe, you note facts, and then you organize them into a set of ideas. Sometimes you listen as a part of your study. You go to a lecture or turn on a youtube interview, or listen to the reports of others who are able to inform you. You may also perform an experiment in order to discover facts. It may be a simple experiment, such as handling something to learn what it is like, or a complicated one such as a scientist performs. Perhaps most often you read to find out. In the books, pamphlets, or references online to which you turn, you read pages of text and consult pictures, maps, charts, and tables.
When you have followed one or all these lines of study, what do you do with the facts and ideas you have gained?
Sometimes you merely store them up in your mind for use in understanding the world about you. You use them as food for thought, relating them to facts you already know. They become a part of your general equipment for thinking.
If you are somewhat a scientist, you may keep notes or facts you discover, either in a notebook or in a computer file. You do this because your study is part of your major interest in your life.
In school, you generally share with others what you have learned. This you do through conversation, discussion with your Teachers or classmates, oral and written reports, written records, and organize your study. It´s always fun to learn! :)
