I recently polled some upper elementary teachers and their #1 concern for science instruction is vocabulary retention.
You’ve introduced vocabulary, taught your lessons, included time for hands-on labs, and assessed. But do your students retain that vocabulary 3 weeks later? In many cases, no. For students to master academic vocabulary, they need to be exposed to terms many times in different ways.
Problem Solved!
My goal is to keep things light and fun, allowing students to work on their vocabulary in a variety of ways in a low-stress environment. JUST 5 MINUTES a day can keep new words fresh in students’ minds.
I’ve done the prep work for you. All you have to do is select the activities, project the slides, and let your students follow the prompts. The activities included are simple but tried and true methods to increase students’ retention of academic science vocabulary.
No printing.
No worksheets.
Just talking about words.
