Episode Seven: The Complex Relationship Between Girls and Science

October 12, 2021 • Dr. Megan Allen, NBCT

Girls and science. Something happens to girls in upper elementary school and middle school where they start losing their fascination and love of science! Our guest in this episode helps us unpack that complex relationship. Carly Baldwin is a National Board Certified Teacher, a chemistry teacher in Ashland, Kentucky, a virtual tutor at The Community Classroom, and a Presidential Award Winner in Math and Science Teaching.

Carly will share with us:

How representation matters in science,
How the language we use impacts our girls,
How access and environment can impact girls and science.

And there are resources, folks! Please check out:
