Help students understand scientific vocabulary

It’s impossible to separate literacy and science. Literacy is often seen as the responsibility of English teachers, but students need to understand the meaning of the language used to grasp complex scientific concepts. So how can you ensure your students have a scientific understanding of key terms in a topic? This article outlines how you can review the keywords needed for a topic so you can pre-empt misconceptions, discuss dual meanings of certain keywords, improve pronunciation and help students use these words correctly in science. This takes very little time and will greatly benefit your students.
