Scientists report their research in journals, which are special booklets that enable scientists to share information with one another. This journal, the Natural Inquirer, was created so that scientists can share their research with you and with other middle school students. Each article tells you about scientific research conducted by scientists in the USDA Forest Service. If you want to know more about the Forest Service, you can read about it on the back cover of this journal. All of the research in this journal is concerned with nature, such as trees, forests, wildlife, insects, outdoor activities, and water. First, you will "meet the scientist" who conducted the research. Then, you will read something special about science, and then about the environment. You will also read about a specific research project, written in the way that scientists write when they publish their research in journals. You will become a scientist when you do the Discovery FACTivity associated with each article. Don't forget to learn the vocabulary words! They will help you to understand the article. At the end of each section of the article, you will find a few questions to help you think about the research. These questions are not a test! They are intended to help you think more about the research. Your teacher may use these questions in a class discussion. Articles in this NI Issue
