Mr. Gerhart has given his students white lab coats for when they begin their science lessons. Also, he took a picture of each child in his class and made badges to introduce each student as a “Dr.” or “Professor.” I love this idea and I believe it allows the children to see that they can be scientists; anyone could be a scientist! I would love to do this same thing in my classroom. Also, I will be sure to have a discussion with my students about why scientists wear lab coats and what it means when we put our lab coats on. |
