Abstract

We examined the impact of science enrichment activities on African American female students' achievement and attitude towards science. Seventeen students participated in the study. Attitudes were measured using a pre and post attitudinal survey, whereas achievement was measured using test scores from their biology class over a six-week period. Pre- and post measures indicated a significant increase in achievement and attitudes for the students who participated in the study.
