The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force issued new guidelines for
mammograms in 2009. What does this mean for someone with a family
history of breast cancer? Congress periodically votes on a piece of
legislation called the Farm Bill. What does its current iteration
mean for the safety of supermarket eggs? Understanding how the
latest science affects real people patients, consumers, voters, and
taxpayers is at the heart of science literacy. From Chapter 1 of
Front-Page Science Like citizen journalists, your students can get
to the heart of science literacy and challenging questions like
these with the learn by doing methodology in this innovative book.
Front-Page Science uses science journalism techniques to help
students become better consumers of, and contributors to, a
scientifically literate community. The book is divided into three
parts: Background information and a rationale for using science
journalism techniques Concrete advice about how to teach science
literacy in this framework from helping students find story angles
to teaching search strategies and interview techniques The process
of putting together and writing a news story, including how to get
students started, help them when they re stalled, and respond to
their drafts A free website provides downloadable lesson plans,
teacher suggestions, and a forum for exchanging ideas with others.
Like Front-Page Science, the website is part of the National
Science Foundation funded Science Literacy Through Science
Journalism project. By making full use of these rich resources, you
ll teach your students skills that will help them make sense of
their world not just now, but also after graduation and for years
to come.
