Riding the Reading Roller Coaster:

Science/Math - Reading Connections

 

Explore some of the following science-related sites. Look for the following three features:

• How does the website address a particular science proficiency?
• How does the readability contribute to or distract from understanding?
• How do visual, auditory, movement, and other aspects impact multiple intelligences?
• How does the website promote interactivity with the information, rather than passive viewing?

Use the following websites to start your exploration:

• Great Plant Escape
• Atoms Family
• ph Factor
• How Things Work
• Zoom Dinosaurs
• Weather: Hurricanes
• Nine Planets
• Penguins
