Famous Scientists Biography Learning Cards for Homeschoolers

These learning cards allow learners to easily note or narrate facts in a simple way.  Each card names a specific scientist and asks learners to fill in the details for who, when, where, focus (field) and notes.  The notes section could be used to highlight discoveries, Nobel prizes or awards won or anything else they may consider interesting.  Learners will refer to them again and again in trivia type games, quick reviews on the go or even before bed.  They are very appealing.  They are also great to use with any curriculum you may be currently using or any resources you may have on hand at home or can easily acquire from the library or the internet.

Once completed, these cards could be used for any number of activities and games.  They could be laminated and used for trivia games like twenty questions, guess the scientist, or be simply used for the practical purpose of a year-end review for science courses.  These famous scientists have been specifically requested by our children or have come up in our reading or science video viewing. 

Find sets below which include famous secular, Christian and Catholic scientists.  To create these resources, download and print out sheets, cut apart on lines.  Fill in the info on the sheets then fold on dotted lines and glue to complete.  Laminate finished cards for longevity and durability, if desired.
