Dear Scientists,

Crazy white hair doesn’t make you a scientist. A white lab coat doesn’t make you a scientist. Spending time in a laboratory surrounded by gurgling beakers doesn’t make you a scientist.

What makes you a scientist is the types of questions you ask about the world. And the ways you go about answering those questions.

I know you each have a ton of questions about the world. You can’t live in it for 10, 11, or 12 years and not. My job as a science teacher is to show you some ways other humans have gone about answering their own questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
