For our first day of class, we were told to draw what we believed a scientist looked like. In my picture, I drew a scientist named Dr. Peter who was working in his lab. I made sure to include things that I felt related to science, such as test tubes, a plant, magnifying glasses, and a beaker.

After we drew our scientists we went on a gallery walk around the classroom. I observed that everyone in the class had a different interpretation of a scientist, which was interesting to see. It is important not to stereotype a scientist and assume things such as:
- Scientists are only indoors
- Scientists can only be men
- Scientists are always doctors
Anyone can be a scientist if they want to be!
