My Project

We are a public, rural school where all students receive free lunch. They have limited experiences outside of their community. Most have blue-collar parents with limited knowledge of the importance of science.

I would like to encourage my students to have futures in the science field.

These books include biographies of scientists that will give students knowledge of careers in the science fields and expand their knowledge of scientists backgrounds. I have chosen a diversity of scientists so that students can see not all scientists are middle aged white men.
