Introductory Physical Science
Understanding Infotext: A Questions-Based Approach
 
WELCOME!

In this lesson, you will get a chance to have your questions answered, rather than answering someone else's questions.  I hope that the activities on this website will stimulate and satisfy your curiosity, and take some of the pressure and confusions out of reading science texts.

Your Mission

Your mission will be to be to decide what you know about a particular subject and what you would like to know.  Based upon what you would like to know, you will form questions to keep in mind as you read about that subject; this will help to focus you on whether or not the text is answering your questions.  Finally, you will collect all the information together and decide which of your questions were answered and which were not.  Unanswered questions will be our starting point for future discussions in class.  To get started right away click here!
