Problems/Case Studies
"A
Recipe for Invention: Scientist Biographies". Traci
E. Morris and Susannah Gal,
In this case study, designed to help break down stereotypes about
scientists, students research the personal and professional lives
of researchers in their field. The case was designed for use in
high school to upper level graduate courses in a variety of
scientific disciplines, including molecular biology, biochemistry,
geology, chemistry, psychology, mathematics, computer science,
engineering, and anthropology. In the teaching notes, the authors
provide lists of scientists for each of these disciplines as well
as suggestions for classroom activities that can be used in
various combinations to build on the students' biographical
research.
Appropriate for general science high school and undergraduate
classes.
