Description
Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with 10 Indigenous STEM scientists biography research projects. Students research real Native American scientists and engineers who changed science and history. Perfect for Native American Heritage Month in November. Supports science, social studies, and ELA research skills. No prep, print, and go. Great for middle school.
Research projects can be done as a single page or extended using the optional 2nd page. Includes two designs for each page with different questions allowing you to customize the project to your student's needs. Each worksheet includes a photo of the person. Also includes a curated bibliography of books about these scientists to check out from your library to help with student research.
Teacher notes give information about the area of research for each individual, date of birth, ethnicity, if they have won a Nobel Prize, or if they are a person with a disability.
To also help you determine which scientists will be easier for your students to research I have indicated if they have entries in Encyclopedia Britannica (our school has a subscription but many entries are free), in Biography.com
