The Scientific Method in Action

Today I want to focus on the scientific method in action! Below are links to 4 short video clips of life as a field biologist hunting caterpillars.

View Ms. Turner's two short video clips about how we conducted our field work. Look for me in the white baseball hat! :) Video under Thursday's entry "Field Work".

View Mr. Nieveen's video clip about fighting our way into the forest. View under Wednesday's entry "Life as a Field Biologist".

Lastly, view Mrs. Moore's video clip about using deductive reasoning to figure out the identification of a caterpillar. View under Monday's entry "Identifying a Caterpillar".

After viewing the video clips, please post your comments about what you think would be the most interesting part of being a field biologist. What do you think would be the most challenging part of the job? Does a career as a scientist interest you? Why or why not?

I really look forward to reading your comments. I have a completely new perspective of scientific research that I look forward to sharing with you when I return (I have lots of other pics and video clips to show you). Until then, be good! Miss you!
