A GUIDE TO USING THE "YOU CAN BE A WOMAN" SCIENCE SERIES

Each book is a science supplement to support material on a particular unit that a science teacher is covering.

For example, if the teacher is doing a unit on oceanography, the "You Can Be A Woman Oceanographer" has the three lesson plans: Science Lesson Plan 1 - To gain an understanding of how oceanographers collect organisms from the deep sea and to demonstrate how the choice of equipment determines what they learn, etc.

Each book emphasizes a realistic and understandable approach to the scientific method.

In "You Can Be A Woman Zoologist", our zoologist discusses her first research project, observing the apes in the Lincoln Park Zoo and describes and defines the scientific method using examples in the text reinforced by cartoons of animals.

Each book provides a contemporary role model, someone who is currently working in the field and loves her work.

In "You Can Be A Woman Egyptologist", Co-Author Betsy Morrell Bryan is currently a professor of Egyptology at Johns Hopkins University. The teacher can use the biographical data to show something about the education and background of of the person. The books devote a few pages to describing the day-to-day duties of someone working in this field.

"What I enjoy most about my career is its variety. For part of the year I'm a teacher. I teach the undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins University about Egyptian culture and history. I also teach the graduate students about ancient Egyptian language, art and archaeology.

During another part of the year I work on a research project, such as the work on Amenhotep III's art. It took many years to collect, exhibit, and catalog this art, and now I am visiting cities here and in Europe with it."
