The Scientist Within You, Volume Two:
Women Scientists from Seven Continents

by Rebecca Lowe Warren
and Mary H. Thompson

The Scientist Within You: Women Scientists from Seven Continents opens a world of possibilities. Written to help young people ages 10-15 discover science skills and history through hands-on experiments and activities inspired by the work of women scientists from around the world.

This second volume in The Scientist Within You series includes the following:

  • Full biographies on 29 women scientists, mathematicians, and engineers
  • 24 Discovery Units offering extensive class activities, experiments, or projects
  • 6 Bridging the Continents pages highlighting women whose work in science has intercontinental significance.
  • 7 Continental Summaries emphasizing an aspect of that continent’s scientific history.
  • Each summary features: continental facts unique to that land mass, continental curiosities to pique student interests, exploration questions for classroom or individual research, and suggested enrichment activities.

Women Scientists from Seven Continents is intended to celebrate the global successes of women in a variety of scientific fields. These women provide life stories and career images that positively impact girls’ expectations of themselves and their performance in math and science. Each women’s enthusiasm may inspire both girls and boys to develop an interest in science that will be sustained throughout their educational experience.
