Writing

Writing is an essential component of all Amplify Science units. In particular, students write grade-appropriate scientific arguments and explanations several times in each unit. In addition, students write in many other science-appropriate genres. For example, they may take field notes of observations during a hands-on activity, or they might write a letter to convince someone to make a change that will affect a local environmental issue. Overall, purposeful communicative writing is an integral part of the Amplify Science curriculum.
