Visual Literacy Infographic

I teach science at a K-8 multi-age school. If my students learn nothing else in my classes, I want them to think of themselves as a

scientist and learn how to think like a scientist. We spend a great deal of time learning the scientific method. I use the science circle format taught by Teton Science Schools because it helps students to see that the process isn’t linear and doesn’t have a clear starting or stopping place. 

One of the more challenging tasks is to get students to make scientific observations. Many of them want to just right to making inferences. I created this infographic to hang in my classroom as well as print for students to place in their interactive science notebooks.
