Developing scientific literacy is an ongoing process. For this reason, it is helpful to have students
participate in assessment. For example, students can
complete the quiz in Figure 2 to establish their current scientific literacy and create a baseline. Following the activity in Figure 1, or any other activities
that similarly bolster scientific literacy skills, teachers
can once again administer the same quiz. Students
will readily see which areas they have strengthened
due to their participation in the activity in Figure 1
and where they could use more work.
