A Scientist Like Me

Do you know if you asked most little kids (and even big ones) to draw a scientist, you would get an old white man with messy hair? If you want to diversify the representation of scientists FROM students, you have to diversify what they are shown. Below is an assignment (including a K-4 version and a Gr 5-12 version) and a set of resource links that you can use to get students to expand their ideas of WHO does science:

This youtube channel has a lot of AMAZING videos each roughly 6-10 minutes. My class loved these (especially the Fermi Paradox) and we would use these for discussion topics. We watched about 14 of them.
