Meanwhile other states take a ‘concept and scientist’ approach, but they fail to mention the contributions of female scientists (e.g. notably, Marie Curie under the topic of radioactivity!) ☢️

If this approach is taken, curricula should also talk about female scientists and their contributions.

ACT and VIC take a ‘concept’ approach, avoiding mentions of scientists where possible.

Since many laws/methods were named after men due to historical reasons, this approach does not tell the full story and implicitly promotes the ‘lone-male genius’ narrative.
