Packed with information about reading and writing pedagogy, science standards, adolescent and young adult literature, and lesson design, this book:
- Addresses the relationship between reading and science education, including the use of textbooks and other materials
- Offers methods for teaching writing in the science classroom
- Highlights the role of technology in enhancing students′ science knowledge
- Includes sample lesson plans, graphic organizers, and templates suitable for any secondary science classroom, with modifications for students with special needs
The ultimate blend of theory and practice, Reading, Writing, and Inquiry in the Science Classroom, Grades 6–12 helps educators foster the skills to communicate science ideas and experiences and give students an academic advantage.
