What are different types of attitudes?

1. A scientist must be curious about the world.

- Galileo Galileo's curiosity about the heavenly bodies made

him the first person to use a telescope to study the

moon, the sun, the planets and the stars.

2. A scientist is logical and systematic.

- Among the reasons why Gregor Mendel discovered the

principles of heredity when others have failed was his logical experimental methods and his careful and accurate record keeping.

3. A scientist is open-minded.

- An open-minded person is one who can modify plans

or discard hypotheses if necessary. One such person was Johannes Kepler who was hired to develop evidence that planets moved along perfect circles.

4. A scientist is intellectually honest.

- Isaac Newton built his laws of motion on the previous

work of Galileo and others.

5. A scientist works hard and is persistent.

- Marie Curie was the first person ever to be awarded the

Nobel Prize twice. It was not surprising considering how

hard she worked.

6. A scientist does not jump to conclusions.

- John Dalton's atomic theory was backed by experimental

evidence. He was not the first to propose that the atom

was the smallest particle of matter, but he was the

first to use experimental evidence to support his theory.

7. A scientist is a creative and critical thinker.

- Albert Einstein was able to derive his theory of relativity

because he went beyond what was given and known at

that time. He saw links and connections where others did not. He looked at things from different perspectives.

8. A scientist is rational .

9. A scientist is willing to suspend judgment until he is sure of his results.

10.A scientist tries new approaches to arrive at solutions.
