Science in Literacy RE114 / G02
Summary
This course will examine how science can be used as the context for developing writing and reading skills.
Recount, explanatory texts, non fictional writing and reading will form a central part of the course as well as how science can enable quality persuasive writing.
Science topics will include materials, habitats, environments, evolution, chemical change, light, sound and forces.
