Scientists

[bednobs]

help! my daughter has to go to school for science week dressed as a scientist. I am completely flummoxed as to what to do - any ideas? she is 5. If i can teach her anythink about women in science at the same time, even better

white coat, toy medical stethoscope and give her a wee intro to Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first English female to qualify as a doctor

Talbot...I should have googled your suggestion in your first post...;-)

Tilley...since when do threads stay focussed on one thing...lol ;-)

Paleontologist.........sun hat, shorts, sunglasses, toffee hammer and a piece of rock from the garden.

Tilly2 I thought this thread was about giving Bednobs some ideas as to her daughter's costume......

I'd go with Tilly's Marie Curie idea for my daughter, Bednobs......so identifiable and she'll be the only one not in Dad's old white shirt with a toy stethoscope..... :-)

Of course you would, gness. I wouldn't have expected anything different.

it's the radiation exposure that I worry about......

I FORGOT TO COMEBACK AND THANK everyone for their help. She went as an entomologist in the end.
