Start-Up Activity
Explain to students that without writing there would be no science, at least the type of science that we know and study today. More specifically, there would be no records of observations and experiments for scientists to learn from and build on. They would be in the dark, and the world would not enjoy the present level of scientific advancement and understanding.
Writing can help you better understand and appreciate science, too, because it helps you think more carefully about new scientific concepts. Tell students that this chapter will show them how to write two different types of science-related essays. Then read and discuss page 217.
Note: Science and/or English teachers can implement these guidelines.
Think About It
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
—Albert Einstein
