For Kids

Scientists do a lot of unique and challenging things, but it's not very different from the things you do everyday! They use skills in their jobs that you use in your everyday life, such as:

      
  • collecting things
  • asking questions
  • investigating clues
  • making guesses
  • solving problems
  •  

    Look around and see what it's like to be a scientist and to test out your own skills.  Try the sample activities for anthropology, biology (botany, and entomology, zoology), geology and palentology.  Check out the Glossary of science words.
