Session Takeaways

• 1 How can teachers spark scientific inquiry? Use real-world phenomena, science news, mysteries, field trips, or Generation Genius videos to invite questions before explanation.
• 2 How can students build understanding across STEM and literacy? Use leveled texts and built-in supports so students access the same concept and contribute to shared discussion.
• 3 How can teachers move students from reading to doing science? Pair content with datasets, PhET simulations, and CER activities so students test ideas and explain with evidence.
