Science teaching Guidelines for English
    Language Learners


    1. Identify science themes that have
    applications across Life, Physical, and Earth
    Science.


    2. Students identify their prior knowledge
    about the science themes and topics; the
    teacher takes note of misconceptions that
    need to be corrected.


    3. Focus on hands-on activities using science
    process skills, experimentation, and a variety
    of science resource materials.


    4. Develop academic language through
    discussions, listening, describing observations
    reading graphic and text science information,
    and writing about science experiences.


    5. Use a variety of instructional approaches
    to dispel student misconceptions.



    6. Integrate learning strategy instruction with
    all science activities.
