So much of science involves communication and skills in language arts. Follow this simple recipe to help your students become science communicators: Add 1 cup of science (life, Earth, physical, or general) to 1 cup of language arts. Blend well by attending sessions at the NSTA conference in Phoenix.
Sample these recipe variations.
Elementary Science Surprise
You’ll actually make ice cream—as well as build molecular structures and integrate elementary trade books—in the session titled “Infusing Literacy and Mathematics Skills in the Science Content of the Elementary School.” Science never tasted so good!
Earth Science as a Main Course
“Science, Math, and Literacy: The Three Essentials Needed for Success” will help teachers serve these three important ingredients, flavored with Earth science.
Chemistry Cookies
“Stirring Up Reading in Chemistry” will have middle school, high school, and college teacher “chefs” producing smart cookies who can understand what they read in chemistry. Are you hungry yet?
