Hi Mr.Wood this is Megan Hostetler from period 1 Q: Can scientists really study something in nature without changing it? A: Yes, because if a scientist is studying something in nature it dosn't involve changing the thing that they are studying.

You make a good point, but if you touch it or put an instrument on it, have you changed it then?Thanks,
Mr. Wood

Good point. But sometimes a scientist has to touch or dig or do something that may change the thing they are studying.Thanks,
