The Importance of VocabularyHaving the correct vocabulary to talk about any subject is a key component in understanding. For example, you can't talk about football if you don't know what a touchdown, touchback, field goal, and quarterback are. Similarly, we can't talk about science without knowing the words that are important. If we are able to explain and use science vocabulary correctly, our understanding of skills will automatically improve. We will work heavily on building our science vocabulary by using the words in context, defining them using our own words, and representing them visually. You will make flash cards each week for key vocabulary that you will keep in your notebook. You may also create graphic organizers or use any other tool that is helpful to you.
All vocabulary will be posted on Quizlet. Quizlet lets you print the words as flash cards and study them as flashcards online or on the app as well as by playing games. Click on the picture to the right to join our class using your WakeID. |
