Who discovered it?

Students match inventions and discoveries to the women who made them.

Steps

1. Hand out cards with inventions (e.g. windscreen wipers, Wi-Fi, Kevlar) and cards with names.
2. Groups match the pairs and explain their choices.
3. Reveal the correct answers and the short stories behind them.
4. Everyone chooses one woman scientist and writes 3 sentences about her for the board.

Tip: Add women scientists from your own country, as well as Polish ones such as Skłodowska-Curie, so the list feels close to students.
