Much of the literacy in science involves what we do with information and how it is communicated with others. |

This is what I came up with in class (5/19) for Biology related Literacy Practices and Biology related Teaching Practices that then enforce those literacy practices:   |

My mid-term project involves Science Literacy practices in the form of a research paper. I like Hanna's comment that literacy in science involves communication. Communication comes in many forms. My Abstract:
Literacy content and practices in Biological Science require a team effort. A science book combines technical and specific content-area terminology, great step-by-step direction writing, and the talents of a gifted graphic artist. If the written and visual material supporting the content is clearly explained it makes the teacher’s job of helping the students understand the content material much easier.
One of the most interesting people I every met was a talented artist who hand-drew mythical creatures to sell at Dragon Con in her spare time, but worked at the Florida State University Magnet Lab as a graphic artist drawing and labeling molecules, cells and piping for the scientists working in the Magnet Lab. She later left because she was hired by an educational textbook company to make drawings for textbooks. It dawned on me how important is could be for some students to not only read the text of a scientific explanation or math problem, but “see” it through an artists rendering so they could visualize the concept.
