In recent studies, scientists have proven that there is somewhat of a gender bias in the subjects of Math and Science. Their studies show that boys usually preform better than girls, but that sometimes their lack of maturity balances it out. When we talked to the math and science teachers on our team, Ms. Gora and Ms. Rogers, they gave us some interesting information. Ms. Gora said that she didn't think there was a gender bias in her science classroom, and that students either do well or poorly based off of their own ability level. Ms. Rogers, on the other hand, said that over the years, boys tend to preform slightly better in the subject of mathematics than girls do. In the field of math and science both agreed that there was still a gender bias although there are usually more women teachers. Here at Julian all of the math teachers are women while at the other middle school, Brooks, most are men. In the fields of math and science themselves, such as chemists and biologists, most are men. This is because women have only recently been allowed and excepted by society to be able to study the sciences. For example, our group came up with a list of 25 notable scientists. Only three on that list were women. This is because when most of these scientists were alive and becoming famous, women weren't allowed to get the education necessary to become scientists.
