Each feature article in Science World has accompanying skills sheets that build core knowledge in the various scientific domains (biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and engineering). Our interactive digital games also quiz students on core science knowledge from the issue.

Every issue of Science World includes skills sheets that support students’ critical thinking as they analyze real-world data from diagrams, charts, graphs, and maps.

Every issue of Science World includes hands-on investigations or modeling activities. Students can plan and carry out experiments, collect data, develop models, and/or draw conclusions. Each activity is easy to set up and primarily uses affordable, easy-to-find items.

These hands-on challenges give students a chance to design innovative solutions to problems described in the magazine, and include graphic organizers that help them through the process.

Science World not only supports science standards but also helps meet state and national language arts standards as well. Each issue includes literacy-focused skills sheets, including paired text and inferencing activities, evidence-based writing prompts, a vocabulary-focused crossword puzzle, and much more!

Every issue of Science World includes a Check for Understanding skills sheet, which asks questions about the entire magazine and promotes critical thinking. Also included is a Google News Quiz—an interactive multiple-choice quiz covering the science news section of the magazine.

For skills sheets that support differentiated instruction, visit the Templates and Graphic Organizers section. These activities can be used with any article and help students develop practices emphasized in the Next Generation Science Standards and skills emphasized in the Common Core State Standards. To access these skills sheets, click “Graphic Organizers” from the far right of the top menu bar available from any Science World page.
