“Literacy has a critical role to play in middle-grades science learning, even when the
curriculum is inquiry-based and hands-on. Students read a variety of documents, e.g.,
textbooks, write-ups of experiments, articles, lab directions, case studies, scientific
reports, and online documents, to construct the meaning of important scientific concepts.
Science writing, e.g., documenting observations, recording data, making sense of data,
and sharing knowledge, helps students process information and gives teachers a window
into students' understanding of core concepts.” Literacy Matters Website |
