What does literacy in science mean… 1. Reading Informational text (sources include
various textbooks, online Discovery Education articles, Ed Helper, Encyclopedia Britannica)
2. Comprehension of new science concepts (plant and flower structures, how energy travels in waves) and expanding science vocabulary
3. Building upon prior knowledge gained in elementary school curriculum (matter, ecosystems, energy)
Literacy in Science….
