MEN BEHIND SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION & DISCOVERIES
I- Introduction
“He had in fact most of the qualities that make a great scientist: an innate curiosity and perceptiveness regarding natural phenomena, insight into the heart of a problem, technical ingenuity, persistence in seeing a job through and that physical and mental toughness that is essential to the top-class investigator.” - Leonard Colebrook (1883 - 1967) Scientists are known by their discoveries, inventories, theories discovered and the things that they impart in the field of Science. Scientists contributed a lot not only in the field of Science but also to us. They taught us many things, influenced us on their inventories and discoveries, impart knowledge to us on HOW things happen. The things that they invent, contribute a lot to our daily lives. Fire for instance, this will make things easier and can conserve energy. Earth Science, field of study concerned with the planet Earth or one or more of its parts. Earth science includes the sciences used to study the lithosphere (the solid portion of Earth), the atmosphere (the gaseous envelope surrounding Earth), the hydrosphere (the ice, water, and water vapor at or near Earth’s surface), the biosphere (the zone at or near Earth’s surface that supports life), and space beyond the atmosphere. College courses in earth science cover a range of subject matter. Usually they include geology, geophysics, meteorology, climatology, oceanography, hydrology, biogeography, zoogeography, astronomy, and astrophysics. Some aspects of these subjects are covered in courses taught in junior high school and high school so that they will know the contributions of different scientists. Geology is the study of Earth, its rocks, and the changes that have occurred or are occurring in the planet. In geophysics classes students learn to apply experimental physics to the study of Earth. Students interested in climate and weather might take courses in meteorology and
