Oh my goodness...I can't believe how many different types of scientists there are. In class today we discussed 34 different types of scientists; from a herpatologist to a ornithologist. We also learned the differences between suffixes that are used in science.
Example 1: the ology suffix means "the study of" and the root word is what is being studied.
So the word Hydrology = the study of water (hydro means water)
Example 2: the ist suffix means "a person who studies" and the root word is what they study.
So the word Hydrologist = a person who studies water.
Just in case you were absent today or want some extra practice learning about different types of scientists you should try this activity.
Hope this helps!
