Mission Impossible
Mr. Wolf's science class conducted an activity on the second day of school that emphasized the importance of communication in science. The students had to work together to accomplish a task that most thought was impossible.
Breaking the Stereotype
Mr. Wolf's science classes 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.
