Writing in the Science Curriculum
Ediger, Marlow
Education, v133 n1 p35-38 Fall 2012
There are a plethora of opportunities for pupils to write across the curriculum. Each academic discipline may well provide chances for pupils to develop skill in writing, science being no exception. The science teacher needs to develop pupil knowledge in science as well as using the contents in written work. Learning to write and writing to learn are related to each other. Thus, for example, while pupils are reading scientific knowledge, they may also summarize their findings in writing. The written work may be proof read and saved for future review purposes.Which are salient writing activities for pupils in ongoing science lessons and units of study?
