Science Autobiography

Directions: For your autobiography I want you to think about all of your experience and knowledge related to science. Write about at least 2 of your experiences with science up to right now. They can be positive or negative, and you should talk about how you felt during the experience and why. What did you like, what did you dislike, and why?

Be sure that you include an introduction and a conclusion, and make sure that the introduction and conclusion answer the following questions: What do you think about science? Do you consider yourself a scientist? Why or why not?

Hints: If you are having trouble, the introduction can answer “What do you think about science?” And the conclusion can answer “Do you consider yourself a scientist? Why or why not?” The only need to be a few sentences.

Some things to consider if you are struggling to think about your science experiences: past science classes, experiments you have done, summer/day camps, home activities, museum visits, TV shows, books, movies, and internet experience.
