Homework Due Today: Monday, 9/8 Signed Student Contract Due Tomorrow: Tuesday, 9/9 Binder Check – your binder should be in order. Science in everyday life Make a list of how you use/observe science in action in everyday life, over the course of the next 12 hours. Explain how what you put on your list relates to science. You should have a minimum of 5 items on your list.

TYPES OF SCIENTISTS 6 th grade Science

Archeologist Archaeologists study human societies that lived in the past through the discovery and analysis of the things that they left behind, this includes artifacts from millions of years ago right up to things developed in recent times. There are no written records for 99% of human history, this is one of the reasons why archaeology is so important. Archaeology helps us understand how humans evolved and culture developed. Archaeology has helped us learn how early human societies used fire, stone tools, metals and agriculture.

Astronomer Astronomers study objects found in space such as planets, moons, stars, solar systems and galaxies. Astronomy is one of the oldest fields of science. Professional astronomers only spend a small amount of time with telescopes, most of their time is spent analyzing images and data. Some work entirely with data observed by other people. Galileo is often regarded as the father of modern astronomy.

Geologist Geologists are scientists who study the matter that makes up the Earth. They also study the Earth’s history and the processes that have formed it. Geologists apply chemistry, biology, physics and other sciences to their work in the field and research in laboratories. Geologists may study the behavior of rocks, magnetic principles, rock formations, groundwater, the ocean floor, fossils, oil exploration, volcanoes and more.fossilsvolcanoes

Biologist Biologists study life in all its different forms, researching important processes and how organisms relate to their environment. Some biologists work with DNA, isolating specific genes and determining their function. Some biologists work in laboratories, while others such as botanists (who study plants), do their research in the field.

Entomologist An entomologist is a scientist who studies insects, such as butterflies, beetles, cockroaches, crickets, bees, ants, flies and many other creepy crawlies. Entomologists may study insect behavior, nutrition, morphology, ecology and evolution, as well as the way insects interact with other animals and environments.

Hematologist A hematologist is a specialist in hematology, the science or study of blood, blood-forming organs and blood diseases. Hematologist usually works in a laboratory. Some hematologists may work in a hospital.

Meteorologist Meteorologists study the weather and the atmosphere Meteorologists across the world get to predict some of mother nature's wildest weather. From hurricanes to tornadoes and from heatwaves to blizzards, this is one career choice that will keep you on your toes.

Physicist Scientists who research in physics are called physicists. Physics is an area of science that covers the study of matter, energy and forces. Physicists study everything from tiny atomic particles to the entire Universe as a whole. Physicists observe natural phenomena and use mathematics to develop theories which help explain why they occur.

Chemist Chemists study various chemical elements and compounds, their properties and how they work together in our bodies and the world around us. Good chemists usually have an eye for detail, patience, curiosity and the ability to work on their own. Those who study chemistry can find jobs as researchers, laboratory technicians, teachers and other important roles.
