What other vocabulary words be used to explain "practices" or "demeanors" for 7th graders?

While explaining the lesson to 7th graders, I found using the terminology for "practices" of scientists challenging for students to understand. In addition, I asked students "what do scientists do in their job?" using verbs and then, they were able to start making their lists. In place of "demeanors," I explained it to students as "characteristics" or "values" of scientists. The explanation was easier for middle school students of average ability.
