Cogent SSC Ltd: the Sector Skills Council for Chemicals, Nuclear, Oil and Gas, Petroleum and Polymers Chemical Engineering WISEmology Getting Girls Interested in Science Author: Suzanne Elvidge BSc (hons), MSc - Updated: 24 August 2012| Traditionally, science - particularly chemistry and physics, as well as maths, computing and technology - has been a male-dominated area. Girls may not be interested in science as a study or as a career because they think it is too hard, or do not want to do something where they might be the only girl in the class. So what can be done to encourage more girls to get interested in science? Encouraging Girls into Science Parents can encourage girls to be interested in science – perhaps by going to science and technology museums at the weekend or during school holidays, by watching television programmes or listening to radio programmes about science, or by talking about science stories on the news. There are lots of books, magazines and websites about science, both serious and just for fun, that can help get and keep girls interested in science.
