The poetry of science Details Type Academic Journal Article Title The poetry of science: A flexible tool for assessing elementary student science journals Located In Science and Children ISSN 0036-8148 Volume 46 Issue 3 Start Page 36 End Page 41 Date 2008 Use/Reproduction © National Science Teaching Association Abstract Inquiry-based science offers rich hands-on and mind-on experiences that encourage students to ask and search for answers to their own questions. Writing about inquiry-based science experiences can provide students with opportunities to communicate their questions, observations, and reflections while expanding our instructional and assessment options as teachers. But how can teachers encourage and assess student writing in science? In this article, we describe P.O.E.T.R.Y., an authentic assessment tool that can be used to analyze elementary student science journal entries and track the development of both language arts and science skills and concepts.
