I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Boron Zone. It has a range of scientists studying all different topics. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Wow, that is a deep question! I suppose it depends what you mean by “knowledge”. Lets suppose that “knowledge” is understanding how something works (that’s just one way of looking at it). As a geologist, I make observations (meaning, I look at rocks, or information about rocks). I often draw pictures to help me understand the observations. Then I come up with a hypothesis (like a theory) about what I’m seeing. Then I have to do some kind of test or experiment to see if the hypothesis is right or wrong. For me that usually involves using a computer to model the things that I think are happening, and see if it makes something that looks like the observation. If yes, then maybe my hypothesis is right. If no, maybe my hypothesis is wrong.
That’s only a very small part of the answer.
