In this experience, students identify contributions made by Texans to science and technology. Students learn about three Texas leaders in the field of medicine: Michael DeBakey, Denton Cooley, and Benjy Brooks. Then they work in groups to conduct research on famous Texas scientists and inventors. Finally, they analyze how innovation builds interdependence between Texas and the world. Students will collaborate in small groups for scenes 3 and 4. You will assign each group one of four innovators to research, so there should be at least four groups. Multiple small groups may research the same topic. Note that there is no quiz at the end of this experience. Objectives Overview
