Below are some photos from the 1st week of science class. The students conducted a communication activity on the 3rd day of school in which the students had to work together to accomplish a task that most thought was impossible.
Also, later in the week the students were asked to sketch a scientist. The majority of students shared certain characteristics in their sketches. A student volunteer dressed up in each class as the "stereotypical" male scientist as the students named common items in their sketches. After the activity, the students examined examples of real-life scientists in various fields of work. The students had the chance to see that women can become scientists, and that not all scientists work in a lab, have crazy hair, carry around beakers, and wear lab coats.
