All About Scientists and Different Topics of Science

In this course students will learn all about different kinds of scientist. This class is a fun way for students to get introduced to the different types of science and learn interesting jobs scientists do. Each week, students will learn about a different type of scientist and the topic of science they study. Students will complete a simple experiment or investigation to further understand the topic of science we are learning. I will send the supply list out before class. We will then use our new knowledge about the scientist and topic to play games. Students will love using their questioning and problem solving skills to learn about scientist. Students will have a fun worksheet to complete during or after class.
