This interactive, hand-on workshop will focus on and elicit the use of academic vocabulary to describe scientific concepts through the use of dynamic, sensory interactions and realia use. The understanding of vocabulary in an interactive, purposeful way has been proven to lead to the acquisition of science concepts in grades K-12. This workshop will demonstrate model lessons to pique student curiosity and trigger their desire to learn academic English in a science classroom!
