How can we reach out to professors if we want to try out helping with some type of research

I'm a sophomore in high school. I'm not really sure what I want to research, nor do I have background, but I just want to try it out. Any tips on how to ask professors/where to find them etc?

I suggest going to your local college's website and go through the staff directory. they usually have their emails listed. email them and ask them if they have upcoming research opportunities.
