Dear Measurers of Time and Space,

One of the most ingenious things humans came up with is the many ways we have to measure things. We use body measures, strides, kings’ appendages, the ticking of atoms, and countless other distances and times to be units for measure. However, when humans got together and agreed on some similar units of measure, science was forever revolutionized. That revolution in science continues and will keep going on.

Science is not only about observing the natural world but also about communicating those observations. To do that, we have to speak some kind of common language. For scientists, that language is one of measurements and data. To be a scientists, you have to know how to measure, know how to collect data, and know how to analyze, interpret, and communicate that data.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
