In this lesson plan, students will acquire an overview of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that offer degrees in the physical sciences. Through research into the history of 8 of these institutions, students will determine the significance of HBCUs, particularly in science education. Students will also use historical photographs and video clips to compare and contrast HBCUs in different eras.
