Who are Scientists?

What stereotypes do we hold about science and scientists? Science Biographies are a wonderful way to begin to dispel some of those stereotypes and open our minds to realize that scientists are just like everyone else. Is a scientist just a nerdy supersmart person? Do all scientists work in a lab doing experiments? How do scientists make discoveries? How do scientists help our world?

Learn about the people who are scientists and try exploring like them! Below are scientists biographies for children. We developed an interactive read aloud with thinking & talking questions about the biography to help children make sense of what they see and hear about scientists from the biography.

In addition there is a science activity offering children an opportunity to do a little investigation like the scientist.
