Here’s a great project for incorporating technology into your curriculum! I like to use it as an extra credit assignment for students who have missed a major lab, failed a test, or in danger of failing the six weeks. I have included a list of chemists and physicists (by no means complete, but there are 30+ chemists ad 60+ physicists) for students to choose from or you can assign students with a scientist on the topics they’ve failed. You can also assign it to teams for cooperative learning.
This assignment is done online and takes 60-120 minutes to complete. You receive a list of scientists, a student handout, and a grading rubric. You also receive a link to a Fakebook page on a scientist created by me as a good sample of what to look for in your student work.
