Science Word Wall

To create a Science Word Wall, place the alphabet in big letters on your classroom wall. When a student comes to a word that he or she does not know, the student prints it in large letters on an index card or construction paper to go on the Wall. If possible, the student also illustrates the word. You may want to limit your Science Word Wall to something like five new words a week.
