Science and Nature Vocabulary!

This ongoing class has a dual benefit: students will fortify their vocabulary knowledge while learning about science and nature. Each week we will have a lesson centered around five to seven significant words from an interesting science topic. Students will learn more than just the definition: they will learn related concepts and interesting facts. 
For instance, in the lesson "Shimmering Sharks," learners will do a deep dive into these related vocabulary words: cartilage, lateral line organ, electrolocation, oviparous, countershading, and nictitating membrane. 

Students will be encouraged to share their knowledge and ask questions. If time allows, we will have a matching challenge and play Two Truths and a Lie based on what we covered in class.
