Mini Bio: Barbara McClintock!

Introducing the mini biography of Barbara McClintock, a pioneering geneticist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of genetics. This engaging resource is written with middle school students in mind, taking them on a journey through Barbara's life and achievements. Students will learn about her early fascination with science, her groundbreaking work on genetic inheritance, and her discovery of transposons - or "jumping genes". They'll discover how Barbara's innovative ideas and perseverance have paved the way for future generations of geneticists and scientists. Through her story, students will gain a deeper appreciation of the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and hard work in shaping the future of science.

I usually laminate them and switch them out every week, so students can learn about those who have shaped our world! Would also work great as a **BELL RINGER**

Be sure to use this with my freebie, the Deep Dive graphic Organizer to encourage students to think more like historians!
