Contact a Scientist in the Field You Studied

Your job is to contact a scientist in the field you studied. If, for example, you read Frog Scientist, then you would want to find contact info for either the scientist in the book, and/or other scientists that study frogs.

Write a professional and error-free email, asking some questions you would like answered.

Begin with a greeting, and introduce yourself.

For example:

Greetings Dr. Frog:

My name is Katie and I am a sixth grader at Prairie Creek Intermediate School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  I recently read the book The Frog Scientist by Pamela S. Turner, and I had some questions that I was wondering if you would be willing to answer.

Sincerely,
Katie Johnson
