How Can Teens Master Science Vocabulary?

This year, I felt like a lone wolf howling at the moon—my students, bright as they are, just couldn’t grasp the language of science! 🐺🔬 Ninth to eleventh graders, lost in a forest of unfamiliar words, struggled to build logical arguments. I dreamt of giving them journal articles, but most are written for experts, not curious young minds. So, I’m on a quest this summer to find short, accessible science texts—especially in physics and chemistry—that will help my students build their vocabulary and confidence. Have you stumbled upon any gems? Or maybe you’ve crafted your own resources? Drop your suggestions, corrections, or wildest ideas below! Let’s bridge this knowledge gap together—maybe we’ll even spark a scientific revolution in our classrooms! 😅💡 #ScienceEducation #VocabularyBuilding #HighSchoolTeaching #Education
