STEM-infused English Language Development (ELD): Citizen Science (part 1)
by Emily Bogusch
This two-part lesson models STEM instruction in the context of an ELD classroom. In part 1 (this lesson), the goal is to promote scientific academic discourse in an ELD classroom. Students use a visual key to classify clouds both inside the classroom and outside the classroom. The lesson then introduces students to a Citizen Science observation application freely available through NASA (GLOBE Observer). Links to helpful resources and Part 2 are included!
