by: Rebecca Monhardt

Students are introduced to real life accounts of scientists in this fun and hands-on activity. Through biographies, students identify examples that reflect aspects of the nature of science and scientists. Pop-up books are used to expand students' understanding of science and consider jobs that they had not thought of as within the realm of science.
