Find the Fib…First Day Activity
http://tweenteacher.com/ 2008/ 09/ 05/ find-the-fibfirst-day-activity/

Fermilab offers some drawing of scientists by seventh graders before and after a visit to Fermilab. Wonderful visuals. Before After I think of a scientist as very dedicated to his work. He is kind of crazy, talking always quickly. He constantly is getting new ideas.
