Feeling creative? Colour these posters celebrating pioneering women of science
Enjoy an arts-and-crafts project for times of physical distancing — and a chance to meet some unsung scientific pioneers you should know.
Perimeter Institute created the “Forces of Nature” posters, featuring influential women in physics, as part of our broader efforts to celebrate the contributions women have made to science, especially those who went largely unrecognized in their time.
Now, we are releasing a selection of these posters for you to colour, featuring Emmy Noether, Annie Jump Cannon, Canadian Nobel Prize-winner Donna Strickland, and more.
Have fun colouring, but please consider this more than a boredom-busting craft project. We hope you’ll take this chance to think about the impact these pioneers made to science, frequently against overt and systemic challenges. We hope it’ll give you a nudge to learn more about their work.
Just fill out the form and the colouring pages will arrive in your inbox in minutes! Click HERE
The discovery of the Scientific method is credited to several scientists, depending on your source. Most often it is credited to English politician Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) and Italian physicist Galileo Galilee (1564-1642). Did you know that the Muslim Arab mathematician, astronomer, and physicist, Hasan Ibn Haytham, who is referred to as the "father of modern optics", was also credited with the development of the scientific method? Ibn Haytham's scientific method is very similar to the modern scientific method as consisted of a repeating cycle of observation, hypothesis and experimentation, and the need for independent verification.
