Scientists Around the World

We finished our "Scientists Around the World" assignment.  As mentioned earlier, students had to find a current scientist who was still living.  I am TRYING to encourage them to become scientists, so I wanted them to see that many scientists are not what they think.  I don't know if this worked, because I got a lot of, "He's old," and, "She looks funny," so my goal might have been far-fetched.  Anyway, they learned about many different types of scientists and what they do!  Also, I have a student whose parents are scientists (which I did not know), which is WAY cool!  Here is our working board, which as you can see is a little United States heavy.  We are working on that...And one student contributed a dollar from Trinidad, which I had to map.  If nothing else, we worked on some geography, which is always great!
