The Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST) is a well-known instrument used by many science educators worldwide to understand students' conceptions of scientists. Since Chamber's study, numerous studies have examined people's perceptions of scientists and found stereotypes in students’ drawings. To broaden the field of study, we have developed new research instruments that include students' drawings and stories of a scientist and a fashion model based on a scenario we have provided. The participants were 149 female middle school students from grades 5, 6, 7, and 8. Students' stories and drawings of scientists and models provided essential findings. Drawing scientists and fashion models and developing stories about their lives provided detailed information about students' perceptions of scientists.
