Scientists and Inventors


A scientist is a person who is expert in an area of science and who uses scientific methodology in researching that area. Upon the request of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1833, William Whewell invented the English word "scientist"; before this time the only terms in use were "natural philosopher" and "man of science".

An inventor is a person who creates new inventions, typically technical devices such as mechanical, electrical or software devices or methods. Although some inventors may also be scientists, most of them are engineers in fact as they base their work on the discoveries of other scientists, experimenting with practical applications and combinations of those discoveries, and with improvements and combinations of existing devices, to create new useful devices.

TEACHER NOTES
Have students give a class presentation as the persona of the scientist or inventor that they have studied. Their classmates would ask them questions. They would have to answer as if they were that person in that era.
