Everything you need is included for students to create an African American Achievements in Science timeline or bulletin board.

What’s Included:

• 25 Pre-made scientist biography boxes (for Version One)
• 25 Biography prompts for students to research (for Version Two)

Teacher Notes:

• This project works well when assigned as a paired project.
• As printed (several 8.5″x11″ pages), this timeline is more than 1 meter long, so it also makes a great Black History Month bulletin board.
• NO COLOR PRINTING IS REQUIRED! The pictures look better in color but will print fine in black and white.
• Please note: This Black History Month science activity is NOT editable.
