The
new Ohio Academic Content Standards state “Examine how science and technology
have advanced through the contributions of many different people, cultures and
times in history.” To comply with this
mandate, we chose 35 scientists (9 women) of various nationalities and eras in
history who made outstanding discoveries
or achievements in their scientific area of study. This included geneticists, astronauts,
archaeologists, rocket engineers, astronomers, naturalists, inventors, physicists,
etc.
The
Dewey Decimal Numbers used for this project are 92 and 920.
Subject
Headings that are useful: INVENTORS, SCIENTISTS-BIOGRAPHIES, individual names
of the scientists( last name first) and specific fields(example:
ASTRONAUTS-BIOGRAPHIES)
