Scientists of Color - 14 Posters & Activity: Grades 2-5 Black History Month

Celebrate Black History Month with this engaging resource!

These 14 posters and activity may give students more heightened awareness and perspective around how diverse and inclusive we can become around our image/notion of what a scientist is/can be.

These feature pioneers in Science in the Black Community. Many students know about George Washington Carver, but there are so many more Black Scientists/Inventors to learn about.

Hanging these posters in the classroom can show students that any person (regardless of gender, ethnicity, color, etc) can be an incredible scientist.

These are great for Black History Month - or for the entire year.
