The Face of Science

Learners draw pictures of how they envision scientists. By comparing and discussing the features in their pictures, they can discover common thoughts and stereotypes about scientists. The activity includes links to websites showing a great diversity of scientists. Learners can view and discuss, to expand how they envision scientists--and potentially picture themselves as scientists. When learners set up a free account at Kinetic City, they can answer bonus questions at the end of the activity as a quick assessment. As a larger assessment, learners can complete the Bug Blaster game after they've completed several activities.
