Are you looking for an exciting and inspiring activity to work on with your students during the International Women's Month? Your students will embark on a journey of discovery as they explore the incredible contributions of outstanding women in different fields!
This innovative interactive notebook will challenge your students to research, learn, and celebrate the lasting impact of these pioneering women in the world of science and innovation.

How to Use this Resource:
1. Interactive Notebook: Use the interactive notebook for each of your students to research a prominent woman. Upon completing their research, they can share about these women in a gallery walk.
2. Collaborative Mural: Transform the interactive notebook into a collaborative project to create a mural in the classroom. Each student can have a section of the mural dedicated to a woman in STEM, using their interactive notebook to gather information and create visual elements. By combining all the sections, an impactful mural is formed that celebrates the diversity of prominent women in STEM.
BONUS!
For each woman, you will find various posters that include:
- Her name
- A short biography
- Two famous quotes
One idea I have implemented is to organize a bulletin board with the biographies of the women. This way, your students can approach, read, and choose the woman they want to research.
