This ongoing class has a dual benefit! Students will fortify their vocabulary set 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 the definition and time will be allowed for them to write it if they would like. We will explore each word through examples and explanations. Students will be encouraged to share their knowledge and ask questions. If time allows, we will match words and definitions and play a game of Two Truths and a Lie based on what we covered in class.
