Hi Friends.
In social studies today we talked about social scientists. There are six types of social scientists. They are: geographers (which we're most familiar with), historians, political scientists, economists, anthropologists, and sociologists.
When these different occupations of social scientists have conversations, they bring unique perspectives. For example, if a geographer, historian, political scientist, economist, anthropologist, and sociologist were sitting around a table discussing an earthquake...
Before Wednesday (when we next meet for Social Studies), I'd like to have you grab a copy of the Lesson 4 and 5 packet from my extra social studies handouts bin. Then, I'd like you to make your second page in that packet match my example found at this link.
In class on Wednesday, you're going to have to think like each of these six types of social scientists, so be sure you understand (from the notes page that you're copying) what matters most to each type of social scientist, and what types of questions they might ask.
If you have ANY questions about this, please see me! :)

- The geographer would care about where it happened and why it happened there.
- The historian would care about earthquakes that happened in the same location in history, and how much time has passed since the last earthquake.
- The economist would care about how much money it would take to clean up the destruction, what new goods would need to be imported for the recovery, and what impact the earthquake would have on that location's exports.
