From the beginning of their careers and forever after, scientists are called upon to do various kinds of writing and speaking. Communication skills are among the qualities most prized by those who hire and promote scientists. Scientific Papers and Presentations provides a concise guide to writing what must be written: proposals, literature reviews, theses, journal articles, slide presentations, posters, or grants. The author also discusses conventions in writing, proofreading, copywriting, as well as methods for searching and citing scientific literature, composing reviews, preparing data presentations, communicating visually, and public speaking. No other reference provides guidelines and practical advice for so many forms of communication. Advice-laden appendices include actual examples of papers annotated by the author. Based on the author's fifteen years of experience advising young scientists about scientific writing, the book can be used as a course text for scientific writing, seminar, or scientific presentation courses. It is also a handy and valuable reference for fledgling scientists.

There is a need to challenge students to think and talk and write about science as well as read about it and do it. Developing students knowledge of science and their knowledge of literacy must be brought together in our schools and teachers need to learn effective ways to do this."Integrating science and literacy instruction has often meant having students read about science. But Karen Worth and her colleagues know that we improve both science and literacy achievement with integrated instruction that goes far beyond science reading. They know that understanding science means being able to think, talk, and write effectively about science. Science and Literacy is the professional development program that makes it happen. Professional development leaders will find what they need to help teachers understand and use the many connections between balanced literacy instruction and experiential science. Organized around eight complete modules, the comprehensive Guide shows how to make talk and writing essential tools in science inquiry. The eight modules cover: Foundations, from the nature of scientific inquiry to the importance of teacher questions (modules 1 and 2) Classroom talk, from creating a culture of talk to gathering ideas and making meaning (modules 3, 4, and 5) Writing, from the anatomy of science notebooks to their implementation and to writing beyond the notebook (modules 6-8).Each one includes an overview of the key content, an outline of the preparation and materials needed, step-by-step session directions including how to use the DVD materials. There is also ample guidance for customizing the program to meet your needs. The DVD includes:  Classroom videos with transcripts and notes Handouts, take-home packets, and mini-lessons Student samples Participant readings A bibliography for further readings Facilitator slides.Science and Literacy is the guidebook to strengthen science knowledge as it develops authentic literacy skills.  Just as science writing and reading can be done as part of literacy instruction, students literacy skills can be reinforced in the authentic context of inquiry-based science. The relationship is a reciprocal one, enriching students learning and skill development in both domains."

A must read for teachers in either domain. -Peter Dow Author of Outdoor Inquiries: Taking Science Investigations Outside the Classroom Essentials of Science and Literacyprovides classroom teachers with a wealth of classroom tested and research-based best practices designed to engage students.
