⭐ Get this Black Scientists WEBQUEST at a discount in my Black Scientists Bundle!
This purchase includes FOUR separate Black scientist activities that can be used individually or together! Students discover the wide-ranging contributions of African Americans to the world of science and STEM – perfect for Black History Month or a Scientific Method unit… or any time!
And, both GOOGLE SLIDES and PRINT versions are included for all 4 webquests!
WebQuest 1: Students are given several websites to use to do guided research about 6 scientists of their choosing (there are TONS to choose from). Then, students write about how these scientists overcame adversity and prejudice. No answer key is provided for this option because the number of possible scientists for students to research is too numerous. (1 page front/back)
WebQuest 2: Students visit a provided website to answer specific questions about 6 important African American scientists. (1 page front/back)
WebQuest 3: Students visit provided websites to learn about African American inventors who specialized in scientific fields. This webquest is best used for a group with a reasonably good ability to pull information from online text and to perform independent internet research. (3 pages)
WebQuest 4: This version has 12 scientists to research. Students will answer specific questions from specific websites. The digital version has large pictures to bring each scientist to life! (print version is 5 pages)
Assign them together for about a 2-class period activity, or assign individually as homework, for fast-finishers, or throughout Black History Month (or any time!).
