people who study the world; observers of our environment & the ones who help us to understand what's happening around us

Technology's all about information Scientists use latest computers & equipment to look at places & things they study Without a microscope, a microbiologist wouldn't be able to look at the tiny organisms they wish to study Meteorologists use radar to track the patterns of clouds and rain and to protect what tomorrow's weather will be Technology keeps growing to meet needs of scientists; many everyday household items were created to help a scientist do a better job For this reason, it's important that scientists keep asking questions & searching for answers, & technology will be there to help find the answers

many different aspects of the environment

several scientists working together to give you the "big picture"

help scientists study the environment & helps them communicate their findings to other scientists
