Could this be you? You don't have to have the highest grades, or be the best in math, or even be a perfect student to become a scientist. In the classroom we are learning about the impact that scientists have had on our lives. What changes have been made through inventions, research, and medicine.
You already are a scientist. When you make Kool-Aid you are a chemist. When you study the direction the rain clouds are moving you are a meteorologist. When you find an interesting rock you are a geologist. Finally, when you watch for meteors or comets then you are an astrologist. It only takes curiosity, which we as humans have enough of.
On this page I want you to pick two famous scientists to tell your parents about. Then ask them to help you discover more about these scientists. Be ready to share a little in class.
Now to test your parents and yourself.Go to Funbrain and take the quiz over famous scientists and mathematicians. This is a challenge. I know you can do it. Good Luck.
Finally, think about becoming a scientist. You could research our universe. Find a cure for a disease. Discover what happens during a tornado. Research what makes a volcano erupt.
There are thousands of careers in the scientific field. It only takes a curiosity, desire, and knowing the method associated with scientific research. So to help you advance as scientists we will go over the scientific method. Watch Tim and Moby explain it. Then try the quiz and activity that follows the clip.
