As Black History Month comes to a close, we’re highlighting five Black scientists whose work spans chemistry, biology, physics, environmental science, and Earth systems.

Each connects directly to real classroom standards and real instructional moments. The month may be ending, but representation belongs in our classrooms all year long. Save this for your next unit and tag a teacher who needs it. ✊🏾🔬 #BlackHistoryMonth #STEMEducation
