In this lesson, students explore the varied work of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians, and discuss character traits common to all of them. Through examples, they discover what scientists discover: dolphins at play and soccer balls that light up the night. And they meet a diverse group of scientists—inventors, problem-solvers and those who explain the world around us.
