Digital Black History Month Project- African American Scientist and Inventors

Help your 21st Century learners learn about African American Scientist and Inventors using this digital research notebook project. During this project, students will be challenged to research information on various African American scientist and inventors and record their findings in a digital notebook. I have included reading passages to get them started on their research and slide templates to help them organize their findings. 

This resource is perfect for a whole-class shared writing activity, individual research project, or distance learning. 

The best part of this resource is that it is low prep and easily modified to fit your individual classroom needs. All you have to do is make a copy of the file, choose the slides you would like to assign, delete the slides you do not need, and assign to students. Students can complete all activities through Google Slides on their laptop or tablet.
