      Create a sign of these questions in class
  • Do most students think about the effect of these issues on their everyday lives? Do our students consider the roles they might play in changing how a science-connected problem is resolved over the coming decades?
  • Proficient science readers will read the text that correlates to a table of data, for example, and then study the table, looking for features like units of measure, data range values, and column titles. They will then look back at the text to reread, or continue reading, in an effort to connect this information to the text.
