Show Notes

I was recently reading the May/June 2023 issue of "The Science Teacher" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the "Editor's Corner" column, written by Ann Haley MacKenzie. She wrote an article entitled, "Promoting Scientific Literacy in the Science Classroom."

This is the second of a two-part podcast series on Scientific Literacy. In this podcast we will look at the strategies for encouraging scientific literacy:

1. Incorporate real-world examples

2. Encourage critical thinking

3. Provide hands-on learning opportunities

4. Use many kinds of media resources

5. Address misconceptions

6. Collaborate with community resources

7. Creating a culture of making student thinking visible
