Center Focus
Current Happenings in Science
- Obtain recent copies of science magazines/articles. A few good ones include Scientific American, Science, and National Geographic.
- Have students read an article they find interesting, report and comment on it. At the Science center, have a bulletin board prepared for students to place the article along with their review next to it.
- You may also want to have them create a visual representation of one or more of the scientific facts explained in the article to place on the board next to their review.
- When everone has gone to this center, share the reviews with the class so everyone can learn about what's new in science today.
