At the age of 3 no. However a 3 year old can learn to become a scientist with the correct training and knowledge.

example is to understand something as simple as a light bulb can be explained to a 3 year old only in basic terms. The cause and effect of producing electricity: power grids, glass blowing, filment ratings and general power rating for a light bulb takes many different sciences and training.

Now a Scientist is a person who followes the scientific approch to study, learning and research. (complex but look it up) An inventor can invent without following the scientific approch. However the inventor may not know all the side effects and cause and effects of the project.

I think anyone can be taught anything if it is broken down into simple pieces that the learner can understand. It depends on the extent of their ability to reason. There are some very intelligent 3 year olds with great capacity for learning and there are others that are more normal, whose attention span won't allow them to process great deals of information at one time. It all depends on a child's developmental and reasoning abilities.

Of course. All scientists present and past were once 3-year-old children.

Most scientists from Mexico have the mentality of a 3 year old, too much tequila I guess.

It depends on your definition of a scientist. If you mean as a professional, no, they have not reached maternal readiness (you learn about it in psychology). ie...you can force piano into a 1 year old all you want, but they wont get it at their age because they are not "ready"
