hey guys it's Kaeleigh this video is about different careers in the science field
are you interested about having a job in the sciences then let's get started all
scientists wear white coats and stare into microscopes all day making up crazy
concoctions in the laboratory right wrong that's a common misconception
while some scientists do indeed use microscopes and work in lab settings
other scientists are outside exploring and conducting research without
microscopes or chemicals but no matter what topic a scientist studies they all
have one thing in common they're very curious people scientists
are always asking questions and trying to solve problems but there are too many
questions for just one type of scientist so scientists have to choose the topic
that interests them the most and focus on those types of questions
for example astronomers are scientists who asked questions about outer space
like stars planets moons and galaxies or a glaciologist who studies glaciers and
how ice has impacted the world we see today see how these scientists choose to
study very specific things that's because there are so many questions to
be answered there are over a hundred different kinds of scientists but all of
these scientists fall into the three main groups of science the first
category is earth science earth science studies solid earth the waters on earth
and the atmosphere that surrounds earth so there's geologies geologists who
study the rocks and minerals that make up earth there's meteorologists who
study the atmosphere and the weather on earth and there is oceanographers who
Study oceans on earth there's also seismologists who
study earthquakes to better understand the composition of the earth they use
geology and physics to help them study how waves travel through the earth
hydrogeologist study groundwater in the soil and rocks these scientists often
work to find and extract petroleum the powers cars and planes the second
category is life science and like it sounds life science focus on every
living thing plants animals humans cells and how they all work together
there's botanists who study the plant kingdom
there's zoologist who study the animal kingdom ecologist study interactions
between living things and the environment and biologists who study
life and living organisms there's also talk psychologists who study how
chemicals can be dangerous for humans they work in poison control and in
developing medicines to help people from becoming poisoned nurses have studied
the human body and use lots of biology to assist doctors in making patients
healthy the final category is physical science physical science focuses on
everything that is not living and how energy and matter make up the world
around us there's physicists who study how energy and matter work in the
universe and chemists that study what matter is made out of and how it reacts
in the world but besides physics and chemistry the earth science category can
also be considered a physical science there's also architects in the physical
science field they use the laws of physics to build sturdy buildings and
houses for people by understanding how forces act with different materials
architects are able to design safe structures and there's laser engineers
and they use the properties of light that are taught in the physical
is to able to create lasers that are used for medicine transportation and so
much more so if you like asking questions and solving important problems
in the world today then play the game science careers next to learn about even
more different science careers that are available you might discover your new
dream job have fun and remember to always be clever
