3. 1 What do scientist do? Scientists discover why things are the way they are. They study why things happen, and how things happen to help people understand the world around them so everybody could live better lives.

4. Who are scientists? • Everybody's a scientist. I (meaning you) am a scientist. Although my name or everybody else's name isn't read about in a textbook or praised by the outside world for an amazing discovery that helped the world, we are all scientists. I learn about how things work, whether it's our skeletal system or a simple machine, and that's exactly what a scientist does. You don't have to be named Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, or Isaac Newton to be hailed a scientist. You just have to be yourself and learn.

Some actors have other jobs in order to make enough money. • Actors work long and irregular hours. They may do one show at night and another during the day. They also might travel with a particular job. Evening and weekend work is a regular part of an actor's life. • Actors should be in good physical condition. They must endure heat from bright lights. They get water breaks so they will not get tired or sick from heat or thirst.
