All About Me as a Scientist

A first-week survey with a science twist: students fill in each rung of a DNA strand with what makes them, them. You learn how they like to learn, how they feel about science, and what they're curious about, all on day one.

Free resources / All About Me as a Scientist

What's included

Inside the download

  • Page 1: the DNA strand. Name, one word that describes me, how I learn best, my history with science, a goal for this class, and what I'd study as a scientist
  • Page 2: a few more base pairs. A science superpower, two truths and a lie, one thing I want my teacher to know, and a "draw yourself as a scientist" box
  • Check-box options for learning style and science history make it quick to scan
  • Print-and-go, no prep
