If you're not familiar with the terminology, trying to learn science can be very difficult! Increase scientific literacy by helping students to master the terms they'll encounter again and again as they progress through each new grade. Words are listed categorically (scientific inquiry, physical science, life science, earth science, and space science) and then alphabetically. Teachers should read the word and discuss the information provided before students move on to write in the definition, write a sentence, and create a visual representation in their science journals. Activities help reinforce the words in context, as well as the scientific concepts behind them. 78 reproducible pages, softcover. Grades 5-8.
