Immediate Scientist! A Scientific Consideration

It's true, that scientists deal with beakers and goggles. Just not every scientist...
what defines a scientist? A common misconception is knowledge. Kids and adults mercilessly gain knowledge from books, magazines, movies, and websites if they interest in becoming a scientist. This is what you'll need if you become an educator, but what really should be required is some sort of experience. When you achieve your job as aquarist, you will know everything about octopuses, but maybe not how to prepare their enrichment and handle them. But you'll have this kind of experience, too. Don't worry!
But the most important experience is how to observe and think in multiple perspectives. The real definition of being a scientist is being one that observes nature and asks questions about their observations. A good exercise to do is to first write down everything they know about nature on one page and on another what they wonder about it. As you journal, you'll find yourself asking more questions. Another exercise to do after is to go outside for 5-10 minutes and write down what you observe. Make sure to write every detail of the animals and plants you see, their movements, appearances, and sounds. And before you do that, write your date, location, time, and temperature.
That's all you need to do to be a scientist! Observe and question. But wait! There is one more thing. You can actually make an impact with everything you have done so far. First, your observations. Using a source like iNaturalist to upload these will eventually impact the environment–in a great way! All this goes to other scientists who are gathered together to look at all this data. And the data collected will be collaborated and the scientists who have the privilege to contact those in your area will know what is needed to be done to help the wildlife. And your questions? Your questions might already have an answer hidden all over that web–discovered by scientists. But you can try to answer them yourself. Collaborate if you're wondering what one animal eats, and keep on the lookout. Make sure not to scare the animals. Watch and you might catch them snagging a meal. Maybe set up cameras. Some questions you can perform an investigation on.
So get out there and be a scientist! Good luck!
