A group of seventh graders were asked to describe what a scientist is, and to draw an accompanying portrait. Then they went on a field trip to Fermilab and met the scientists there.
Upon their return they wrote a new description and did new portraits. Suddenly, there were no more lab coats, and a lot more women (and non-bald men).
It's fun to flip through their before and afters.

WooHoo! Glad they got to take the field trip to the lab.
The guy with the goatee made quite an impact! What a great project.
