    MULTICULTURAL LESSON ACTIVITY

    (6-8 grade Science class)

    I. Lesson Objectives:

    A. Students will develop an understanding and appreciation for scientists and their
    studies.
    B. Students will gain an understanding of the different cultures where scientific
    discoveries have come from.

    II. Lesson Materials:

    Paper
    Pencils
    Index cards
    Chromebooks
    Poster Board
    Markers/Crayons/Colored Pencils

    III. Instruction/Learning Process:

    A. Do First - Students will list all the great inventions of their time. They will try to
    come up with things alone at first, and then the teacher will let them do some
    quiet sharing.

    B. Mini - Lesson - Teacher will ask for some examples of ideas they came up with.
    Discussion. Teacher will then share some examples of different ideas of
    inventions they might not have thought of. The teacher will then share some
    names of inventors and scientists and see if the students recognize the names;
    Wangari Muta Maathai from Africa (who led the Greenbelt movement),
    Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie from Indonesia (who is an aerospace engineering
    scientist), Emilio Herrera Linares who was from Portugal (designed the modern
    space suit). After giving a few names a slide show will be presented discussing
    the many contributions that people from all over the world have made to science.

    C. Guided Practice - Students will be split up into groups of approximately 4-6


    students and be assigned a country. They will need to discover a scientist/inventor
    from that country and how that person contributed to the modern age. They will
    have 15-20 minutes to do their research using the Chromebook and be able to
    share the information with the class. Just a short summary of the person, where
    they are/were from and what their contribution was.
    D. Independent Practice - After hearing about many different people from the
    groups’ presentations, each individual will decide one scientist to do a research
    project on. The students will need to do a full research report on the scientist
    including a 2-page paper, and a poster to present to the class. They will have one
    week to complete the assignment. All will benefit from hearing about the different
    inventors and scientists.

    E. Exit Slip - Each student will turn in the name of the person they are going to study
    and do their research paper on by the end of the day.
