Teach Science With Fergy

Engagement Through Application

Albert Einstein Reading Article

I created this reading on Albert Einstein as a means of curating the important facts of his life and career into an easy to digest document. After reading this article you will have a good understanding of his early and adult life, his work at the patent office, his academic career and achievements, his miracle year, and his enduring legacy.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to send you a copy of this resource.

The Problem You Face

Not having the time to properly teach scientific literacy (disciplinary literacy) or improve your students reading comprehension and analysis skills.

The Solution

This fully editable, NO PREP reading comprehension article is composed of relevant, applicable and engaging reading activities which can be used to:

This resource will take your students between 50-75 minutes to complete and includes some open-ended questions. An answer key is also included for your reference. The open-ended questions lead to extension projects and assignments which can be included or excluded based on your preference.

We don’t spend enough time teaching scientific literacy to our students. This is either because we don’t have the resources to do so effectively or we don’t have the time. However, teaching our students to become scientifically literate is vital if we want them to succeed in life. We need them to know about the world they live in and about the issues they face. Even issues as simple as the common cold are misunderstood and can lead to the misuse of antibacterial drugs eventually rendering them ineffective.

It can be used as a tool in your teaching arsenal on a regular basis, an extension activity for your faster learners, left for a substitute in an emergency or planned absence or as an extra bit of information for a topic.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to send you a copy of this resource.
