How to Create a Complete lesson
Our Science Draw & Write Sheets are ideal for elementary students. When combined with other resources, these writing sheets make a layered lesson of learning. Before tackling the Draw & Write activity sheet, introduce new material by reading informational books, magazines, or view a science video on the topic. All of the Science Draw & Write Sheets could also be paired with a craft or lab. For example, your student could excavate dinosaur bones from ice cubes or you could adventure to a State Garden to look at plants. For the science sheet on light, consider using a flashlight to create shadows. There are so many ways you can layer a unit to make a solid 3 dimensional lesson that your kids will love!
How to Use these Draw & Write Sheets
Our Science Draw & Write Sheets offer students space to draw images along with room for them to practice writing about what they learned.
In the draw section, encourage your student to draw something that represents the topic you have studied.
In the writing section, ask your student to write about their picture. Encourage them to explain what it is they drew into sentences. This is a great time to reiterate details and facts about what you have learned about the topic.
Remind your students to use capital letters and punctuation. The premise of the Draw & Write sheets is for students to recall learned information so they can then write about it. This encourages comprehension and retention.
One year, we used a variety of these sheets along with our Famous Scientists and Inventors Draw & Write sheets to create a science journal. It was a successful way to teach science and writing at the same time. I only wish I had a picture to show you!

Additional Thoughts...
Sometimes a child is hesitant to write. I have found that most of the time when my student is apprehensive about a subject, he doesn’t feel confident in the task at hand. That may not always be true, but when it is, I find it important to make them feel at ease with loads of encouragement and examples. Encourage your new writer to try all different types of writing. One time I actually put a monster truck toy on the table and asked my son to write about it. What does it look like? What can it do? Who gave it to you?
