Ways to use the biographies
Studying the lives and achievements of scientists is part of Sc1 ( National Curriculum)-Ideas and evidence in Science - Scientific Enquiry - in the National Curriculum.
All children need to know that Minority Ethnic peoples have contributed to science in the past and present.
Read and discuss the biography of a person relevant to the area of science the children are studying.
Many of the biographies have Race Equality issues in them, discuss these with the children and relate to their own experiences of Race Equality Issues.
Comprehension activities could be developed from these biographies.
Collaborative paired or group tasks and discussions could be
What evidence did the scientists have to identify a problem?
What did they do?
How did it make a difference to peoples lives?
What do you think were the main difficulties that faced the scientist?
To role play the life of the scientist.
Produce a poster about the scientist and her/his discovery.
Produce a story-board of their life.
Write a list of questions they would like to ask the scientist if they could.
How did this scientist achieve? Ask them to listen and discuss in groups the personal qualities of the person. E.g. persistence.
Have they heard of this person before? If not, why not? Is there another scientist whom they associate with this discovery?
Who are scientists? What do scientists do? What tools do they need?
