  1. Super Scientists

  2. Name a scientist

  3. Excellent opportunity to: - challenge stereotypes - show children how science relates to their everyday lives - illustrate how science is ever changing and evolving. - demonstrate the range of science enquiry types used by scientists - investigate a range of jobs in science

  4. Jobs for the boys and girls - learn how science helps people do their jobs - identify how people use science to help others

  5. Extension ideas: • Suggest other jobs people might do for the blank cards • Think of other things scientists have helped to develop • Look at one job and think about the many ways scientists have helped them (visitor) • Look at the development of one real scientist and how it has affected people

  6. Happy Scientists

  7. Excellent for: • Introducing the names and main achievements of some famous scientists • Demonstrating how scientific ideas and concepts change, evolve and progress, and how scientists build upon previous knowledge “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Isaac Newton

  8. Types of Enquiry • Scientists use many different ways to collect evidence and investigate. • Research has found that many kinds of enquiry were very poorly represented in school planning. • Fair tests were carried out much more frequently than other kinds of enquiry.
