Women’s History Month STEM Printables

Description

Women’s History Month in March is the perfect time to introduce students to scientists who changed the world — often without receiving the recognition they deserved at the time.

This Women in STEM printable bundle includes 15 biography research projects (45 printable pages) designed for grades 3–5. Each figure represents a different field of science, from paleontology and medicine to genetics, astronomy, and space exploration.

Rather than simply reading about these women, students actively research and organize information using structured prompts. The format supports independent learning while guiding students through key facts, major discoveries, challenges faced, and lasting impact.

Each biography includes:

• A student-led research page with guided prompts
• A ready-to-display classroom poster (color)
• A black-and-white coloring extension

These printables work well for:

• Women’s History Month activities
• Elementary STEM units
• Informational writing lessons
• Biography research projects
• Cross-curricular science and history studies

The 15 women included:

1. Mary Anning
2. Elizabeth Blackwell
3. Alexa Canady
4. Jane Goodall
5. Rosalind Franklin
6. Mae Jemison
7. Barbara McClintock
8. Maria Mitchell
9. Marie M. Daly
10. Kathryn D. Sullivan
11. Caroline Herschel
12. Lise Meitner
13. Irène Joliot-Curie
14. Mary Somerville
15. Émilie du Châtelet

This bundle provides enough material to support a full month of structured learning in March — while still working beautifully for STEM units any time of year.
