Learn About Graphics Graphics, such as charts and photos, often provide additional information that may not be in the text. Read the passage below. If you had only this text, what image might you have of this scientist?

When you read this text, you probably get an image of a scientist in a laboratory or at a desk. How would that image change if there were photos of the scientist sitting in a rainforest taking notes with a lemur in her hand?
