Secure students’ understanding of scientific vocabulary
Banish misconceptions and build a foundation of understanding for science terminology with the Frayer model template
Students often need to fully grasp the meaning of key words and terms in order to understand important scientific concepts. We can help them get there with the Frayer model. The model helps students to unpack the meaning of words and terms by looking at their definitions, characteristics and possible examples or non-examples. This, in turn, helps to clear away student misconceptions and teaches them to apply terms effectively, in the right contexts. The model can be easily adapted for every level and will be sure to raise the level of your teaching.
