Tools of the Trade - What Tools Do You Depend On?
Ask your parents about what they do for work. What kind of tools do they need to
do their work? What tools do you use in school (pencils, pens, notebooks)? What
would it be like if you and your parents didn't have these tools to work with?
Scientists have a whole bunch of special tools that they use to do research. Without
these tools, we wouldn't know as much as we do about our world today. Tools
help us learn. Make a list of tools you use and see which ones you could do without
and which ones are necessary. Could you do school work without books? Could
you skateboard without wheels? Try working and playing without your tools!
