Women In Science

A lesson looking at Women in Science and the contributions they have made, hopefully inspiring young girls in Schools to consider a career in STEM fields. Starter: Work out what all the pictures have in common (all discoveries made by women), match up the questions to the percentage answers. Main:Task 1- complete the 'Women In Science Factfind' worksheet using the computers. Task 2- Create a factfile about a particular woman in Science. 5 factfiles to go through as a class to give them an idea of what to include. Plenary: Sharing in pairs information about their woman in Science, then presenting to the group interesting facts about their woman in Science. Homework: Produce a poster or leaflet to persuade more women / girls to get into scientific fields of work. The last slide has links to different organisation that work to get more women into scientific fields of work.

Edexcel CP7/8 'Find Someone Who...' Activity

Edexcel CP7/8 'Find Someone Who...' Activity

(0)
Revision activity for CP7/8 units in the new Edexcel Combined Science GCSE (9-1). The idea of the activity is that they need to get all the questions answered on their sheet working cooperatively with the rest of class, with each person only being able to contribute one answer to each worksheet. I also allowed them to ask me to answer one question but could also be done independently amongst the students.
