In this ongoing class, we will explore the stories and achievements of women scientists across various disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and more. Through engaging discussions, presentations, and hands-on activities, we delve into the lives and work of pioneering women who have defied stereotypes and broken barriers in pursuit of scientific knowledge. Each week students will learn and explore more about a different female scientist and their contributions to the field of science! Weekly topics include: Week of June 3rd: Marie Curie and Radium Week of June 10th: Katherine Johnson mathematician and Nasa Calculations Week of June 21st: Jane Goodall primatologist and conservationist Week of July 1st: Ada Lovelace mathematician Week of July 8th: Lise Meitner physicist and Protactinium Week of July 15th: Mae Jemison engineer, physician, and Nasa astronaut Week of July 22nd: Rachel Carson marine biologist and conservationist Some prior familiarity with science topics is useful but not necessary.
