When thinking about your curriculum, certain words always seem to go together — problem with solving, math and principles, but what you don’t often hear paired together is science and literacy. While you most often think of literacy as part of an English or reading curriculum, being able to read and write plays a massive role in science.

Science is about the facts, the data, and the experiments that prove a hypothesis that’s usually informed by something you already know. Even if it’s something you already encourage of your budding scientists, there may be methods for bolstering creative thinking in science education that could come in quite handy.
