It is important that future responsible scientists and citizens are able to read and analyze scientific literature. Here you will find four ideas for bringing current science event articles into your classroom. Suggestions range from holding a class discussion after reading one to having young scientists find one as a homework assignment to bring into class. They can formulate questions for other readers or prepare presentations. None of these ideas are rocket science, but if you need some guidance, they are all purposeful and pertinent.
