Why
Janie Can't Engineer:
Raising Girls to Succeed*
By Pat McNees
*Special to The Washington Post
Tuesday, January 6, 2004; Page C09
Read a
recent article in the Washington Post about involving girls
in STEM
Would
your attitude toward physics have been different if your introduction
to it had involved devising a catapult to send the head of
a Barbie doll over a castle wall during a mock medieval siege?
Girls in a research project funded by the National Science
Foundation learned through trial and error that a Barbie doll
head is hard to catapult unless you make it heavier -- for
example, by inserting lead sinkers into it. They also learned
that it was easier to catapult a potato. Then they learned
about density and velocity, which were not presented simply
as abstractions.
