Interdisciplinary Curriculum Ideas:
1. Science, Technology, and Literacy Connection: This is a very informative article about the critical connection between literacy and the ability to "build knowledge" in science. The article also informs us about the need to teach our students the steps of scientific inquiry. According to Cathy Collins, "Partnerships between science educators, instructional technology and library media specialists just make good sense in that so many of our literacy/research, technology and science education goals and objectives overlap. Science and engineering practices include the following:
