A Natural Fit
Both include a systematic organization of information
“Science is a way of knowing, a process for gaining knowledge and understanding of the natural world”
Libraries have the resources to help!
Librarian & Science teachers share common goals
Promoting Science Literacy
Collaboration Example 1: Science Book Talks
• Science Intended Learning Outcome:o Students should “Read and look at books and other science
materials voluntarily”
Promoting Science Literacy
Collaboration Example 2: Exploring Scientists
• Science Intended Learning Outcome:o Explore science related careers
Supporting Research• Collaboration Example 7: Plagiarism in
research
• Science Learning Outcome:o Students use precise scientific language o Cite sources correctly
Writing Examples in Science
Wanted Example:Assigned Letter
Example:Wanted:
• An element commonly known as Silicon. It goes by the abbreviation Si and has the atomic number of 14. This elusive element takes on characteristics of both metals and non-metals and can be found grouped between the two types of elements on the periodic table along with other such metalloids. Its appearance is dark and silvery with a metallic like sheen. Yet don’t be fooled. Although Silicon may look metallic, it is not a good conductor. You may find this element being used in computer cells or other electronic devices. If found please return to its proper location on the periodic table; row 2 column 14.
Letter Assigned: O• Organized in rows and columns• On the same column elements
share chemical properties• Occupied in the upper right hand
are the non-metals• Other basic information shown
includes name, atomic number, and atomic mass
• Ordered by atomic number in rows called periods
• Other than hydrogen, elements on left side are metals
• Orbiting electrons shown by atomic numbers
• One column is also called a group or family and is numbered with Roman numerals
• Occurrences of bonding when electrons gained or lost
• Outer most shell is where bonds are formed
