Descriptions of the 7 S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Stations included are as follows: 

Summarize – Students will read an article relating to a specific science concept. After reading the article, students will write a brief summary of the main ideas and key concepts contained in the article.

Create – Students will create a “graffiti wall” that will include words, phrases, pictures, diagrams, and/or icons to represent a specific science concept. Each student or group of students will add to the existing creation at this station.

Interpret – Students will interpret graphs, data tables, charts, diagrams, and/or pictures in order to answer a series of questions.

Experiment – Students will conduct a quick experiment or hands-on activity in order to demonstrate a specific science concept.

Navigate – Students will navigate through a card activity in order to decipher a code of symbols, numbers, and/or letters.

Challenge – Students will complete a challenge of digital BOOM Cards™ using computers, laptops, tablets, phones, or any electronic device with a modern web browser.

Extend – Students will extend their knowledge of a specific science concept. Students will answer questions to provoke deeper thought of the real world applications of science.
