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. These printable Women’s History Month worksheets combine science, history, and biography research to help students learn about their achievements.

This Women in STEM printable bundle includes 15 biography research projects (45 printable pages) for grades 3–5. Students explore women scientists from a range of fields, including paleontology, medicine, 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 they faced, and their lasting impact.

Each biography includes:

• A student-led research page with guided prompts
• A full-color classroom poster
• A black-and-white coloring page

Perfect for:

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