Scope and Contents

Tools, equipment, and supplies used for the observation of natural phenomena or to apply knowledge gained from such observation.  Tools in this category tend to be made to enlarge or record our understanding of the world or to help express such understanding.  The classifications record our understanding of the world or to help express such understanding.  The classifications in this category are related by virtue of the fact that they include artifacts created to employ a particular body of knowledge.  The classifications are based on knowledge rather than materials.
