LESSON OVERVIEW

Combine social studies and STEM with these challenges inspired by historical women in STEM fields. Students will use the engineering design process to solve challenges related to the work of pioneering female scientists and engineers.

Each challenge includes:

  • Detailed teachers guides with links to resources

  • Historical profile of a woman in STEM

  • Science Handouts

  • Student design process handouts

  • Grading Rubric

  • Math connection problems

Activities included:
