Activity 6.2
Acquiring scientific vocabulary is a great way to build Science Capital. As students complete each of the four word searches in the Deep Space Diary, ask them to add the words they find to their Visual Dictionary. They can then research the definitions of those words, write them in the corresponding space and draw a picture.
