Science Literacy Resources
“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.”
