I'm no scientist, but I love Google Earth. The July issue of Popular Science highlights five scientific applications using Google Earth: Volcano Tracker, Storm Trooper, Emotion Map, Arctic Eye, and Flight of the Bird Flu. What fantastic tools for students and teachers, not to mention actual scientists and interested amateurs! What did we have growing up - protractors, slide rules, and, oh yea, erasable bond typing paper.
