 Scientific Literacy - Activities
Ask the students if the text would be as easy to understand if the 'What to do' section came before the 'What you need' section. Remove all the numbers from the 'What to do' section and jumble up the text sequence. Ask the students to put the sentences into the correct order. Ask if they found the task easy or difficult. Ask why the steps should be numbered. Encourage the students to highlight all of the action words in the procedure. Rewrite the sentences so that the material processes are not placed in first position and ask students if the instructions are as easy to follow this way. Divide the students into groups and give each group a different step. Ask them to draw a large diagram illustrating their step. Ask the group to elect a member to stand at the front of the class with the diagram. Ask the students to decide by consensus the sequence of the pictures and match them to the steps. Photocopy the diagrams at a reduced size and give a photocopy of all the pictures to each student. Ask them to paste the pictures into their books next to the appropriate step.
