A biologist is a scientist who studies living things. A field biologist studies plants or animals where they live. Tim Laman is a field biologist and a photographer. He studies living things in places such as rain forests and coral reefs. He takes photos of the living things that he studies.

Blue bird of paradise

Tim does much of his research in places where the animals’ homes are in danger. He hopes his research will make people want to take better care of natural places.

Science and Engineering Case Study (continued)

Solution Dino Martins helps people protect bees. That way, there will be more bees to pollinate flowers. He teaches farmers that bees pollinate crops. Farmers who protect bees harvest more food. We need plenty of food for people to eat.

Dino teaches people about the types of bees that help the plants on their farms.

Some bees’ habitats have been destroyed. Dino Martins shows people how to make bee houses. Bee houses help bees survive.

Throughout, they are continually challenged to build their critical thinking from both global and local perspective.

On a field trip Dino helps students collect insects so that they can look at them up close.

Wrap It Up! 1. Why are bees important? 2. What might happen if there were no bees? 3. Why do you think Dino Martins’ work is important?

A bee house on a farm gives bees shelter near crops that they pollinate. 54

AND CONTRAST When you read, you often compare and contrast one thing with another to help you understand new information. As you read the chapter, use a Venn diagram like this one to compare and contrast the lives of rich people and poor people in the Roman Republic.

INTRODUCE THE PHOTOGRAPH

SHARE BACKGROUND

Have students study the model of Rome and the images that accompany it. Explain that this model represents the city at its greatest point during the time of the Roman Empire and that, in this chapter, they will learn about factors that contributed to its growth and development. ASK:: How does Rome resemble modern Possible responses: It has many cities you have seen? (Possible roads and buildings of different sizes. It contains places for entertainment and worship. It has an infrastructure that provides resources for its citizens.)

The model of imperial Rome was commissioned by Mussolini in 1933 to commemorate the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Caesar Augustus. Depicting the city during the time of the emperor Constantine, it is built on a scale of 1:250 and is more than 55 feet across. The model is currently on display at the Museum of Roman Civilization in Rome.

This model of Rome shows the city as it might have looked in A.D. 312. 269

Scientists say that the world’s supplies contain water more than a million different chemic als. Pollution also comes from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. These energy sources are formed by the fossilized remains of plants and animals that have been buried in the earth for millions of years. When coal and oil are burned for energy, gases are released that mix with water vapor in the air.
