What Does a Scientist Look Like?

Program Category
Authors and Illustrators

Audience Age
Grades 4-8

Description

Drawing on the content of all three of her published books, Loree explores the concept of a scientist with students. The goal of this program is to open young minds to the idea that scientists come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and sexes (they are not all men with crazy Einstein hair!), work in a variety of locations (they don't all work in laboratories!), and with a surprising variety of tools (plastic ducks, anyone?). By the end of this interactive hour, students will realize they have all the tools they need to be citizen scientists themselves.

Comments

My available books are for an upper elementary and middle school audience, and so most of my presentations are geared toward students in grades four through nine. That said, the topics I explore in my books are of interest to younger students too, so I offer shorter, age-appropriate presentations for students in kindergarten through grade three.
