girls doing physics (3 Viewers)

[chantellet]

I was the only girl in my physics class and I was wondering what the ratio is of boys to girls of people who do physics. How many girls were there in classes at other schools?

 

[SeDaTeD]

In my class there are 3 girls, although there are more in the other classes, I think. There's about 10 or so boys.

I go to an all guys school, so out of about the 110 in the grade who did physics, there were about 2 girls...</joke>

 

[gordo]

7:0
boys:girls

 

[Libby]

Yeah to start with, there was about 15 guys and 3 girls but it dropped off a little but still more guys than girls

 

[mossup]

there are 9 people in my physics class, 3 (which includes me) are girls....

 

[aloquacious]

ha! in my class there's something like 20+ guys and me and another chick

 

[mossup]

lucky you!

 

[Gesus]

out of the 50 or so doing phys, thres only 3 or 4 girls (grade = 200 boys 70 grls)

 

[tennille]

At my school, we had 5 girls and 35 boys doing physics. Exactly 1 : 7 ratio. Of course, there were 2 physics classes, and I was the only girl in my class

The State Number as of September 1 was:

Females: 2688
Males: 7569

A ratio close to 1:3

 

[fush]

my school had 4 girls i think that did physics, the other 20 or so were guys

 

[BillyMak]

21 boys, 0 girls

why exactly is it not really liked by girls? Maybe because of motors and generators stuff as well as the transistor crap. Too guyish...lol. I hate computers and their little components *shakes fist*

 

[JimmyK]

yea.. its 8 guys to 2 girls in my class

I think it's because the sciences have always been male dominated and since physics is one of the hardest they just don't encourage girls to do it.. Cos cmon its not exactly a *fun* subject. And the people who are mostly interested in this kind of stuff are guys. Also maybe people still unconciously have the idea that males are better than females and thats what comes into it.. meh i dunno but theres my theory on it

 

[tennille]

Yeah true. Einstein, Planck, Newton...all males. There's only one female who impacted on science and that's that Henrietta Levitt chick who discovered the realtionship between the period- luminosity graph and distance of stars. Very male dominated.

 

[chantellet]

hardly seems fair does it? Oh well it just makes it more fun when we kick their butts at it lol

 

[tennille]

I reckon...hahaha. I'm going to be the next Einstein.

Z= GT^2. I made a new equation. I feel special now!!!

 

[Xayma]

Actually what about Meitner I think they were female. Oh well one of the ones who were important in fission were female.
