Students need many opportunities to practice the academic vocabulary learned in class and one of the best way to practice is to communicate with their peers. By making vibrant colored markers available to students, students will be able to work in groups to discuss how the science vocabulary should be used and to illustrate their understanding of these concepts by drawing on the tables. As students speak to each other and argue how to demonstrate their understanding, they think critically and are able to come up with creative solutions. Once the groups completes their work, students move to other drawings and ask questions and leave comments. As students move to different groups, they discuss how their understanding may be different from others and whether they should make any modifications. From these drawings, students can analyze data, write lab conclusions, sketch graphs, come up with graphic organizers, before attempting formal lab reports. Students take pictures of their group work with feedback and questions from other students using either their phones or Chromebooks before cleaning up. Students very much enjoy these drawing activities as a way to engage, to assess prior knowledge, as gateway to writing, or as a review before AP exams.
