  1. Why do males choose careers in math & science more so than women?

  2. Unit Questions Do boys and girls have different learning techniques? Can the use of experiments enhance learning? What are spatial abilities?

  3. Scientific Experimentation: No Child Left Behind By Latosha Williams

  4. Overview • Understanding the various learning techniques between male and female • The use of manipulatives in the classroom grades K-6 • Science experiments in the classroom grades K-6 • Math & Science as a profession

  5. “Understanding the various learning differences between males and females” Females learn and develop an understanding through reading Males learn and develop and understanding through experimentation

  6. Parental (father) involvement has also been found to play an important role in their son’s or daughter’s interest in math and science. How Dads Influence Their Daughters' Interest In Math

  7. Number of math and science items purchased for boys and girls by parents (Credit: University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, 2007)

  8. “Use of Manipulatives in the classroom” Manipulatives are a great learning tool for the classrooms Cooperative learning is becoming a growing trend among primary learners Hands –on, it makes learning fun Receiving information in this form, makes it hard for them to forget it

  9. “Science in the Classroom” Science is more than just knowledge Dissecting animals, mixing chemicals, and learning to build things Makes materials easier to comprehend

  10. Conclusion: Is there room for error? Is there a growing change in trends?
